Budge makes several car covers for the Bricklin. I have the Budge Lite that
has an outside layer of Tyvek and a soft inner layer of poly or something.
It is waterproof and works great. Bricklin owners need size "2" - it is
white on the outside and gray inside. (Do not buy the cheaper version that
is gray on the outside - it is not water proof!)
Wal-Mart is the only vendor I have found. The "Lite" cost me about $65.00.
Wal-Mart can order the cover for you. I cannot find a web site for Budge.

P.S. The Budge cover says "Budge" on a 2"X3" sticker on the nose.
