Topic: Need ideas for accessories... like cup holders...

Lately ive been tired of losing my water bottle and the need to quench my thirst while driving,.  Im looking for ideas to  make a nice bracket or cup holder, that's neither ugly or awkward...  to fit some where near easy arms reach for a drink...
any body got anything other than the bamboo tray ???

That is what I was going to suggest that too,but it looks like it only fits 68 and up.
They also make a console that straddles the hump and goes over the shifter.

The link above was just the first one I saw when I visited CIP1.

This looks like a fit for a 63................

How about this? Fits on the tunnel. They make a couple different types in addition to this one.

I bought a double cup holder at Wallmart for under $10 that goes on the hump just ahead of the shifter. Works great!

Re: Need ideas for accessories... like cup holders...

I'll try to get a pic. It's black plastic, holds two cups, one in front of the other, with a small slot in between for whatever. Each end telescopes out to accommodate different sizes. It bolts to the tunnel or I just bolted it to the carpet. Tall drinks won't fit in the front one due to the firewall, in a '71 Super anyway.
