Default Cup holders

Greetings. New owner of a 75 T Top and I'm learning my way around this fine automobile. What do you folks do about cup holders. I guess I could have done a search (as I've been doing for a couple days now) but decided to just dive right in with an easy one, LOL. I've got a plethora of more technical ?'s but this one seemed a good one to start with.

Man they're proud of them, LOL. A local Vette shop carries similar for quite a bit less. I'm curious if the ones that slide over the parking brake lever interferes with the power window switches...

Yep, until you show off a little and she spills hot coffee on herself.
Then you'll be finding a new cup holder.

That hideaway drink holder is very cool..
I may add one of these to passenger side console side if i ever figure out carpet color match.. and can locate on outside..35 bucks

with my luck the billet one would short out on some switch or relay behind side panel

It does not interfere with the power window switches. But it is big and bulky. Shop around, those can be purchased elsewhere. I prefer Richards454 holder. Good luck.
