Did Covercraft end up producing a cover from these efforts? Looks like this post is a few years old.

They will make it to order--it is not an in-stock "on the shelf" product, since there are so many fabric options. They DO have a pattern that is specific for Caprice, and it is still good. I had a cover made last year. They are not inexpensive.

Ok so the Holden Caprice cover will fit a PPV? Just wanting to confirm. I got an email from them telling me part number for Holden Caprice is C17213

Thanks!

I wanted to try it with the antenna on, but will probably take it off in the future....just stuff/pull the sleeve back inside.

As for color choices, this wasn't intended to be a team colors deal, or anything like that--I liked both, and just decided what the hey....something unique and eye catching. No mistaking whose it is!

i had to poke a little fun , the cover does look to fit really well ! about what did it cost you for it ?

alot better than the 2 universal covers i use on mine , though i do like the 1 hangs low enough that the tires are covered and never see the sun , though i really need that on my SS not my caprice , i also keep my mirrors folded in to save room , plus ive have my spot light still

My only response is that the cover cost "too much" - so much that I'd rather not say, honestly. Not calling it a rip-off, just that it was an exorbitant and perhaps extravagant expenditure, but I did it anyway.

Since this is not a "stock" cover--ie. not something they keep on the shelf, ready to ship--and there are so many fabric options, there may be a wide range of pricing....a custom order 2-color cover probably didn't help, in the end.
