That's exactly what I do, my wife has asked more than once if the only reason shes come along for the ride is :icon_smile_wink: to hold the coffee during turns and shifts

I just have on of those generic Autozone plastic ones that drops over the trans tunnel but no console to get in the way of it.

I have one of those plastic thingies that slides between the console and seats.  It works great, doesn't marr the console, and slips under the seat when I don't need it.  Can't beat that!

I had all these big plans to incorporate a cup holder somewhere hidden but then I gave up coffee so those plans went bye bye.   :icon_smile_big:
The console holder is just fine for my water bottle.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I found that putting a cup between the door and seat works better than my cupholders.

Before the minivan taught us that we should always have places for beverage containers, do you wonder what they did in the dark primitive days of yore?  At least the single guys? ;)

The first time I ever recall any type of position for a coffee/cup in a car was a 1984 Cadillac ElDorado.  Open the glove box and the door rested in a horizontal position and there were two indentations for a coffee mug or cup.  It wasn't long after that that we started seeing interiors designed around cup holders.

Personally, I don't get it.  Can we as humans not go for a few hours without having something to sip on?   :shruggy:

To the credit of 71 b-bodies the glovebox kind of doubled as a cup holder.  I remember my folks using it when they would stop at Micky D's before they had an eat in seating.  Of course I was a kid so I was in the back and had to hold my own cup  :shruggy:

 Wouldn't recommend it when moving though!

The 1st gens had that too.  I assume the 70 models do?  The 68 and 69 lids look cool with the flip up feature but it does come short on the cup holding.  I suppose they figured the 68 and 69 Chargers were so good looking that there was no possible way a guy driving one wouldn't have some chick to hold his drink?
