A cover system for an automobile includes a flexible cover (6), preferably of nylon, having leading, trailing and side edge portions (12, 16, 14) and of a suitable dimension to fit over the entire car body from the rear bumper to the front bumper and sides thereof. The flexible cover includes an elastic leader segment (10) attached at a first end (10') to the cover and spaced from the trailing edge (16) thereof. A second end (11) of the leader segment is attached to a rotatable spool (9) housed in a containment tube (8). The spool is rotated for storing in the cover by a motor, by a spring-biased shaft arrangement or by a manually turnable crank, or combinations thereof. The containment tube (8) may be pivotally mounted by straps (26) within the interior of the trunk for storage therein and is adapted to be pivotally swung outwardly from the trunk to an operable position at the rear of the trunk lid. After the cover is applied to the automobile, the containment tube is swung back to the trunk compartment for safe storage. |
