Show me your 50'-60's cup holders or make a suggestion?

[lvin4jc]

This is on my 1963 GMC pickup, i've got a large flat transmission tunnel that I could mount about anything to. Does anyone have pics of vintage cup holders I may be able to scrounge up somewhere?
Or do you know of something (a car part, tool, Coca Cola memorabilia etc.) that would make a neat cup holder?

Thanks

I normally don't have a cup holder but the last time I did I used a rusted up soup can I found and welded it to the hump.

I don't have any but I've seen people use connecting rods before.

That's not a bad idea, hmmn...

I had one back in the 70s that was for a boat. You could hang the bracket from the dash or where ever and it swiveled in both directions so your beverage was always level

I helped this guy design these...... I have them on the doors in our coupe. They work really well for me.

True enough, but in the 70's you had power steering, this '63 doesn't and it's a bearcat at low speeds. Maybe when I get a spinner knob it will help enough...

Not the cars I drove!

You got me thinking that I needed some cup holders, I whipped this up out of some 3/8" rod and some 2 1/2" muffler clamps. it sits on my trans tunnel and holds cans pretty good, not too good for fast food cups but I don't eat in the car so it doesn't matter.

Did you make that connecting rod steering column mount? Nice touch.
