Sorry, I just never saw this one. My bad.

 

Cup holder?

 

Not traditional unless you use flat head pistons, lol

 

Got to be SBC pistons if in a Ford.

 

My ideal cupholder would be a modern version of tfevferfred's avatar.

 

Cool idea.
As to whether cup holders are traditional, well probably not.
Why ? ....perhaps back in the 'day' hot rodders were young guys who would most likely be drinking beer, and perhaps having a beer in your cup holder would be hard to explain to the officer that pulled you over. Today, a lot of hot rodders are older and are more likely (and more responsible) to drink coffee as they drive,.... hence the cup holders.
Saves spillage and burning if holding between your legs. Safer also I suppose.
Each to their own........

 

I need one for the coffee and one for the urine bottle!

 

Its a hell of a lot more stylish and cooler than the roll of duct tape i always use...
And yes, a cup holder of some sort is needed in everything i drive because if i dont have my coffee i dont function well...dont care if its traditional or not. Haha

Don't get them mixed up while your driving.

 

You only make that mistake once.....twice at the most.

 

I'm sure we've all tasted "warm beer" at least once.

 

OK, I'll say this; if you just gotta have cup holders in your old hot rod, these are about as cool as you will ever get.

 

You might as well have a matching shift knob too.

 

My adjustable cup holder/storage became un adjustable and I couldn't find a replacement assembly so I bought a few cup holders and planned to make the storrage part...OF COURSE the thing started working again and have no clue why it broke and un broke..Gees I hate this shit!!!

 

Here is a local brew that would go right at home in there...as long as you were parked in your garage admiring your handiwork over a cold one.

 

I don't need cup holders, I stick the bottle between my legs when I drive

 

Off topic, but this reminded me of something. Back in 1991 my and my guitar player buddy drove out to the desert to see a couple of girls we were hot after up in Lancaster, CA. It was summertime and hotter than hell so we stopped at Carl's Jr. and got a couple of ice teas. My buddy stuck the cup between his legs on the drive out there. Apparently his cup didn't a good coating of wax on the outside and when it sweated, the yellow dye came off all over the crotch of his white jeans. Looked just like he pissed himself. A cup holder would have been nice. I laughed my ass off!!
