Let's see your cupholder ideas

I know driving should be an experience, but sometimes we get thirsty and I don't want to share a canteen. Looking for an easy adaptation for the front seat occupants to have a styrofoam cup.
Thanks.
 
Here's a picture of my cup holders mounted to the dash. They are
available @ Snyder's. I believe the picture will enlarge if you click on it.

This is my cup holder made out of one length of copper wire. I used solder to stiffen up the assembly. I think it looks period correct and it works well mounted to my dash.
 
Here is a pick of the one that I made. It works well for two large cups.

Added some mahogany trim and woodgraining to one of the steel holders that are commercially available.

I want to see how this cup holder works while downshifting and turning through a corner???? I do recall some female in the news who put a cup of hot coffee between her legs while driving. The coffee spilled, it burned her thighs. She sued MacDonald's and won a few million. I am not suggesting you try her technique, but how many Model "A's" and other toys could one buy for a few million???

Not at all like the McDonald's coffee law suit happened. A little Google search will reveal the real details.

Bob, are you half octopus??? Cause I tried that and got ice tea on my seat.
 
I like your posting burner 31 but I'll pass on the cup holder, find me an affordable 32 B 400
 
I use a 1 pound coffee can with one screw into the floor board.
A local auto parts store has a banner hanging on the wall that says
"Remember the days when your cup holder sat next to you wearing a poodle skirt".
