Can anyone suggest a good cup holder for my morning coffee? I’m looking at the option from Pelican parts that mounts in the cigarette lighter?

Has anyone found one that they love?

Advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you

A roll of duct tape on the floor.
A used cylinder upside down on the floor.
The aluminum piece that bolts to the seat rail on the passenger seat...

Last Christmas my wife gave me one that she purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Has a built in clamp and 1 cup holder. There is also an additional cup for holding things like my cell phone, garage door opener, change,ETC. Not sure what it costs, but it goes on and comes off real easy.
Just my 2 cents,

If you wait a few more weeks I might have a VERY appealing option for you... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I got this one kinda cheap. About $12 if I remember rite. The only problem is you have to put some holes in your door panel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Other than that it works great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I might even get to use it again, when I finally get this engine back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have those, but mounted them on the floor screwed into the long. You really don't notice them when not in use.

This is the thread I saw and built mine off, I just used wider straps so I didn't worry about a cup slipping through the smaller ones in the pics.

I just use a duct tape roll. I do think I have an extra cylinder laying around somewhere.

Though I don't have any pictures, a friend got a dual cup holder at the local FLAPS that can be held in position between the center console and the passenger seat (doesn't work on the early fixed passenger seat cars). It has a thin, blade like base that slips into the space and holds it steady.

Best I've seen:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/crujonessociety.com-2618-1380895141.1.jpg)

The ONLY solution for CW's, since it keeps the car all original.

More seriously, this is a cupholder/changeholder assembly from (I believe) a late 80's/early 90's Ford Taurus. In the Taurus with the coin tray opened, then a photo with the cup holder opened:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.ford-taurus.org-2618-1380896778.1.jpg)

Slides into a DIN slot, or as installed underdash:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.thesamba.com-2618-1380896923.1.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.thesamba.com-2618-1380896923.2.jpg)

There was a thread on The Samba about one like this from a different car that fit almost perfectly into a VW Bug ashtray slot. Unfortunately can't find it now, sorry.

I used a cup that has a oversize bottom. They were popular 30 years ago

Sorry, I didn't think to turn the logo around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I love the cup by the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I need a good one too. When I drive my car to the shop,I wear sneakers and put my steeltoe boots on the passenger floor. They make a pretty damn good cup holder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
