The latest California Car Cover catalog went out last week and there are many new products available. Whether you are looking for new detailing products, accessories or collectibles, the newest catalog has something for everyone.

Here are some of our favorite products for spring, now available through our catalog or on our website.






Probably, one of our favorite items out now is the McCulloch Rotary Steamer. This powerful handheld steamer has  3 different power settings and rotating head for extra scrubbing power. We put the steamer to good use in the CCC Garage:



The steamer includes a handful of attachments. Check out our website for more information on the McCulloch MC1245 Steamer.





If collectibles are more your thing that cleaning, we have added a pair of cool collectibles for both two-wheel and four-wheel enthusiasts.

The Harley Davidson Crate Cooler is a unique way to chill beverages and food at your next backyard BBQ. The wooden crate has a removable plastic liner and vintage styled Harley Davidson stamps and artwork. Check out the cooler and more Harley Davidson items on our website.


For Chevy enthusiasts, our friends at ACME Diecast have put together a 1970 Chevy Chevelle LS6 diecast collectible.





The Pilot Car was produced with a 450 hp engine and features green paint and white racing stripes. This Chevelle is being produced in a limited edition of 996. Check out California Car Cover for more information.




We have expanded our line of PitStop Pit Crew Furniture for spring. The new Hot Rod Table and Bar Chairs will look great in any garage or game room. The chairs and bar stools are adjustable height and include chrome details and automotive inspired design. The bar table features a leatherette top with red stitching.

The team at Race Ramps has put together a larger tire chock  for auto racing enthusiasts. The lightweight chock is easy to handle, but is 12" width keeps sports cars and race cars in their place while in the garage or at the track. The chock is made of the same solid construction that Race Ramps uses on its ramp products.




Each California Car Cover catalog features a number of new metal signs, and this Bonneville one is pretty cool. The die cut sign features vintage styling to celebrate speed lovers annual trek to the Salt Flats for Speed Week. Check out all of our latest signs online.






Going to an outdoor concert or trade show anytime soon? The our new folding director's chair is the perfect way to get off your feet and enjoy the event. The chair features a fold up table and side storage pocket on the other side. The aluminum frame and durable seating material makes it sturdy, yet lightweight.

Keep everything within in reach with a rolling tool cart from California Car Cover. We offer a variety of rolling carts in a number of sizes and shelf combinations for your job. These carts are great for keeping detailing products within reach when cleaning the car, or organizing tools and parts while working under the hood. Check out all of our tool cart options on the California Car Cover website.






Lastly, we have a new Golden Shine Wash Bucket. This handy wash bucket includes a Girt Guard to keep grime away from your wash brushes and towels. The lid of the bucket seals the bucket for easy transportation, but also doubles as a stool while detailing.

1953 Chevy Club Coupe from our March Catalog Cover


Our March catalog featured an eye catching sour apple green 1953 Chevy Club Coupe . This Chevy is owned by local customers Chuck and Linda Barker. The Barkers' have a very nice collection of classic Chevy automobiles. We even featured their yellow Chevy Nomad on our catalog cover a few years back. 




 Chuck finished the restoration of this car last summer. He drove it out to one of our Hot Rod Cruise Nights at California Car Cover and we couldn't wait to photograph it for a spring catalog this year.






Classic Chevy enthusiasts might notice that this 1953 Chevy has some subtle exterior modifications. Chuck actually used sheet metal and parts from a 1954 Chevy on the exterior. Classic Chevy enthusiasts will notice that the grille is from a 1954 Chevy.





Chuck applied the PPG Sour Apple and Custard paint to the Chevy.


The custom leather interior was taken care of Albert Lara.

The Chevy features a 350 Chevy engine under the hood and a 350 turbo transmission.



The Barkers' wanted to give a special thanks to Frantic Fred's Hot Rod Shop for their work on the chassis. 



California Car Cover would like to thank the Barkers' for participating in another photo shoot. Check back again next month for coverage of our April catalog cover vehicles.

Rain or Shine at the March 2014 Pomona Swap Meet


Yesterday the California Car Cover Crew spend a rainy Sunday out at the Pomona Swap Meet. The weather wasn't really that bad, but it did keep away quite a few vendors and spectators. We are at the swap meet "rain or shine" so we still had a good time with our fellow auto enthusiasts.

Nice group of vintage signs that were up for sale.



The wet weather didn't keep away this pair of black Cadillac coupes.

Pretty clean Honda Trail 70 that a customer cruised over to our booth.



There were not as many cars up for sale as usual, but there were still a handful of pretty clean cars looking for a new home.

Nice 1958 Chevy convertible.
A low Ford pickup

A pair of C10s with some patina.





There were quite a few 1960s Chevy C-10 pickups on display at the show.






Cruisin' Pomona Style


We will be back at the Pomona Swap Meet on April 13th. If you are there, be sure to stop by the California Car Cover. Hopefully, the weather will be a little better.
