Abstract: This invention is an automobile shelter apparatus comprising an open ended housing to cover the hood portion of the automobile. A rectangular frame of elongated members is supported on the top side of the housing by guide means through which the frame is longitudinally extended rearwardly of the open end of the housing over the body of the automobile. A roller is mounted on the top of the housing extending transversally thereof on which is stored a tarpaulin cover which is unrolled therefrom to extend rearwardly of the open end of the housing to drape over the extended frame and protectively cover the body of the automobile. A crank handle is provided on the roller to convolutely gather the cover thereon for storage when not in use.
