So, what do you guy have in your Charger to hold your coffee cup?

[Back N Black]

69 Charger no where for coffee cup, spilled coffee twice in a week? what do you guys have for a cup holder?

[bordin34]

Cupholders

[Dans 68]

I use a roll of blue painters tape, on its side, of course, to keep my drinks upright on my console. They won't stay in place if I stomp on it but it is a good short term fix.

Now you've got me thinking.....
Since you're not a smoker, how about some kind of aluminum plate, with a hole in the center - large enough for a coffee cup, that maybe attaches to your ashtray.
Remove the ashtray, hook the plate in and under the opening. Weight of coffee cup cantilevers the back of the plate into a locked position.
Just a thought.

 I don't know about coffee, I need a beer holder.

I don't know about coffee, I need a beer holder. 

i have just a great beer holder for all chargers owners (can use also for coffee) 

[dodgecharger-fan]

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for something like I had in my 73 way back when.

It was a black plastic cup holder that hooked on to the window and hung down inside.
It was the perfect shape too - matched the curve of the upper door pad - and it had a slot so your mug handle could slide in to it.  
This was before travel mugs really existed. So, you actually took your regular coffee mug and stuck it in there.

How come no one's mentioning the cup holders built into the glove box door?  You gotta love the '67 Charger.  Four seats, five ashtrays, two cigarette lighters, and no cup holders.

i don't think those "things" would stop a candy bar from sliding into the floor, must of been designed for the soda at the drive-in or something

I have two of
those exact holders in my jeep, want
me to pull the name off em for ya?


And what's this about coffee?? I might have heard that the space in between the radiator and the grill can hold about 4 six packs or so

Yes please.
I have seen the ones in Wally World and Canadian Tire, but not quite the same as I remember them. The one I had fit so well, it looked like it was designed for the car.

and I heard it was 4 12 packs. Oh, and any size bottle of liquor will snug right in to the fender in front of the doors on a second gen. just wrap 'em in a jacket... So I'm told.

[TexasStroker]

I had always wondered about those low-cast features on some steel glove box doors...I knew it had to be by design bc any parting lines or cast features would have been rectangular, or certainly not TWO distinct circles...I agree though, they wouldn't hold anything aside from being parked at a burger joint or drive in...very nice point there!  Guess early Chargers got them and I know the late A-bodies had them...

That isn't even an option in a 69 Charger with the glovebox hinging up 

Fwiw I go without or take a leak-proof bottle of water...I have bought several "leak proof" cups but they always seem to wind up leaking anyway...Had one in the Duster at the last cruise night, picked it up and found water in the seat 

My current set-up has the console in place, but I have the "top plate" (around the shifter) off since it won't clear the B&M unit.  There is actually a really nice, deep area between my shifter's console and the rib on the console...right where a saddle is I believe...It is like a chasm down to the floor on either side of the trans tunnel, so I usually can fit the 24oz and smaller water bottles there with no problem...on top of a Maglite

[FLG]

I use the crotch holder  

Dont ya love it when the person sitting next to you goes for a swig of whatever there drinking and ya mash on the throttle  

[Ghoste]

...and they spill it all over your interior.

[FLG]

I wouldnt do it with any kind of sugary drink or coffee...just water Ghoste...you dont want to ruin your interior and their clothing.

[Ghoste]

I wasn't trying to be patronizing.  Actually I was recalling an incident this past summer and I was in Columbus with a buddy and I laid on the throttle to merge into traffic just as he was taking a swig.  Needless to say he spilled lots of sugary drink all over his clothing and my recently refurbished interior. 

[twodko]

My wife.

[Troy]

If I ever have anything in any of my cars it's a bottle with a lid. I drop it between me and the console when I'm not taking a drink. One time this summer dad wanted to stop for a coffee so we did. I just wanted to see how he managed to drive a 4-speed car (by himself) with a piping hot cup...

Troy

[FlatbackFanatic]

 My wife also, or just have a 20 oz. soda in a bottle, and keep the top on.

[Back N Black]

I was going to go with my brother's plan, but its just not cool. He uses a old running shoe and puts his coffee cup in there and surprisingly it does move.

Thanks!

That's a bit different than what I had, but the overall shape is pretty darn close.
Mine had solid walls. I like yours better - and it looks like it would hold a bigger cup, too.   

[dkn1997]

My friend has a 65 mustang fastback with factory correct 4speed console... He has this huge armrest that sort of clamps onto the "rails" of the console.  It even slides forward and back.  on 2nd gen chargers, we have these "rails" too, it's those areas that kick up on the edges of the console door and top plate.  

His is an armrest with compartment, but i'd think cupholders would be easy, maybe incorporated into an armrest type deal that actually would go high enough to rest your arm on....

here is something similar. his doesn't have all of the stuff down near the floor, but does have the armrest part that you can barely see in the pic...

http://www.classicconsoles.com/cgi-bin/eShop/index.cgi?pid=42&product=FordMustang

and here is what my buddy has.. and get this, it's called the "humphugger"  stole my goddam nickname from college!

[dkn1997]

I'm really thinking about grabbing one in black and modding it for my console.  

here is one for the ashtray and one that looks like it stays on a flat console top
sorry for all of the ford references....but nobody makes shit for mopars so sometimes you gotta deal...

[Rolling_Thunder]

I am most likely going to mold a piece that fits inside my console - so to hold drinks the console lid will be open - I will also have an aux cig lighter (cell phone charger) and my IPod jack in there...      

[G-man]

Nobody is gonna be drinking in my car unless its a bottle of water... so even if it spilled when I nail the gas while ur drinking  it wont damage the car as water is clean. Since its a bottle it can roll around on floor for all I care.

[hemi68charger]

I always have my coffee in a travel mug and on my lap or, dare I say, between my legs. There's clearance for the steering wheel.... Can't go to early morning gatherings with the guys for a car show or cruise without my coffee........  I make sure the back seat has plenty of towels laid down when Julie rides with Dad..

let me know how that turns out. I am looking to do the same thing with mine.  Mine will hopefully cradle my iPhone at an angle I can see It and use the touch screen

I have also yet to get a stereo that will let me plug in my iPhone for music, what are you using? Any recommendations?

I thought you might of already had one

Just got this vintage unused cup holder.

How true!

This thread is good, this has been rolling around somewhere in the back of my mind since we intend to spend the entire summer in the Charger.
I used to have a sandbagged console cupholder, but it won't work on my Charger console...Maybe a custom-made one.

[472 R/T SE]

Just one more use for duct tape.

[jaak]

I remember a couple of years ago there was a seller on eBay, selling a cup holder just for 2nd gen chargers. You had to remove your ashtray and it mounted where the ash tray went. It held two cups. I looked it up but there wasn't any on  ebay, I guess they wasn't good sellers. Probaby wouldn't work in a console car anyways.

The back seat.....

[oldcarnut]

Found this old thread and was wondering if anyone ever found or come up with a good drink holder.  I did a little google search but saw the same things already listed.   Since my 70 RR has a bench seat I was looking for something adaptable for the ashtray but no luck. I don't want anything that is always in sight like at shows, or something that sits on the floor and collects the stuff that always seems to end up there.  I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel but if nobody already has made one I guess that will be my next project after I finish the see through valve covers.   I'm thinking of something mounted that I can slide in/out using the ashtray opening when needed but while keeping the dash appearance the same when not needed.  Sooo anyone got any pics of existing holders?

[TK73]

Set mine against the trans tunnel and passenger bucket... gotta drink some down as it will spill if full. Doesn't work with a passenger...

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

Never had a cup of coffee in my life, no need for cupholders or fancy sippy cups

WHAT! no food or drink near or in my charger thankyou very much! That's what dining tables are for.

I have these too. They work but I don't like them. I was thinking a sandbag cupholder, if I could find one. the metal console of a second gen is really good for nothing while moving.

[Paul G]

Wow, so many reply's for a cup holder! How necessities change over the years. I drove a 69 when it was brand new, no cup holder, not even a thought. They say, "necessity is the mother of invention" and it is.
This is what I am using, only works for no console cars. Have to be carefull, it will slide around. Have to balance the cup just right in it. But it works.


I picked up some cheap hang on the door cup holders from Auto Zone a few years ago when we did Power Tour in the 73. They worked very well, and are removable.

A coffee holder??? 

[rt green]

why dont you build the door coffee holder into the coffee cup?

[UH60L]

Well, the simple answer is, I don't drink coffee (never have), but I also just don't eat or drink in the car anymore.

The '69 is not my daily driver (anymore), so the only time food is in it is when we go to a car show and take a cooler with food in the trunk (which we remove at the show).

When it was my daily driver, I used to hold my slurpee between my legs, but the steering wheel would somtimes bump the lid.   

[ACUDANUT]

The simple answer is to have your girlfriend hold your beer for you.

[Old Moparz]

Why not simply use the washer fluid reservoir to hold your beverage of choice & reroute the rubber tubing to the passenger compartment instead of the windshield? I'm sure you can run the tubing through the firewall up through the a-pillar trim, then out of the top by the headliner & have a clip hold it to the sun visor so it's out of your way until the thirst kicks in. Maybe a golf tee plugged in the end so you don't have to worry about the dripping. 

It's not like you guys all drive your Chargers in the rain or actually want washer fluid all over your nice paint.

[UH60L]

The simple answer is to have your girlfriend hold your beer for you.

Well, you have a point...my wife did hold my food/drinks many times whilst cruising in the car.  It's amazing how mad a woman will get when out of the blue at 70 MPH you stick out your right hand and yell "burger!".            

[elanmars]

this is what i've had to do that:

Hey Fred , do remember the days of the early Holdens with the 3 stamped pressing in the glovebox door, me and a mate drove through a Wendys drivethru years ago in my 61 EK Station sedan with 3 bourbon & cokes in glasses with ice and didnt spill a drop
Had em in my 65 HD wagon as well

I sure do BobT, those were the days, when we were allowed to drink and drive. I used mine too back then but not for coffee, only for the hard stuff and do use them now for my coffee in my daily driver...........but the Charger! no way..........the only liquid I let in her is petrol   

[Bob T]

Was looking for this pic.
A mate of mine has this dispenser he installed in his 59 Caddy, it is of U.S. origin, I cant remember the brand name,  it has the 7? tubes running into the containers in the trunk, to whatever flavour is his mix , the aluminium cup clips into the holder and the dispenser is turned and hey presto the cup fills up and you're good to go
Pretty Damn Cool

[64dartgt]

Most recently?  My floor    I still need to clean up more after my cup slip off the console...but I haven't done the interior yet so I am sure that coffee spill was only one of perhaps hundreds during its life span.
