Searching for a good quality Wagon car cover

Post by 510Finn »

I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find a good quality car cover to fit a 510 wagon, but I have had the darnedest time searching for one. I purchased the 510 Sedan cover from Coverking via Costco and it's a very good quality cover that does not fall apart after 6 - 9 months like most of the Ebay covers I have bought and tried. I contacted Coverking and they don't make a 510 Wagon Cover, in fact they don't seem to have any Wagon car covers which doesn't make sense. There are many other small wagon vehicles which probably could work. But I have another inquiry open with Coverking to find out if they could potentially make one if they have the dimensions. BTW, do any of you know about this site - the-blueprints.com as they seem to have all kinds of vehicle data including vector graphics which I think is what Coverking would need to get the dimensions to program in a custom designed cover.

The covers which potentially could work:

Datsun HL510, 610 & 710 Wagon, Toyota Corolla Wagon, Ford Escort Wagon, Mazda 3 Wagon, Mazda Protege Wagon, & Volkswagen Golf Wagon.

Your 1972 Nissan 510 requires a size SMALL universal car cover. These Universal covers are not as snug as out custom covers but would give you some protection from the elements. You can purchase these universal covers at Costco for around $100.

The Small Cover can accomodate a car from 13 Feet 2 Inches - 14 Feet 2 Inches.

Regards,

Luis R

I think I found a good alternative solution to a cover that will fit and Coverking has the options for customizing fit.
