Default Coolest Corvette Cup Holder

Hey Gang, I just thought I’d share, I picked up this cool cup holder for the Z on eBay. It is a very simple design but for about $20, this isn’t bad. It slips in under the center console and in between the seat bracket and the tunnel wall.

I have seen some of the other expensive one but couldn’t justify the cost. This one is adjustable and it works great.

Does anyone else have one of these that has used it for a while? How is it holding up? The unit seems fairly sturdy and well built.



BTW, I didn’t go anywhere with that beer!

Excellent product, and inexpensive to boot. Got rid of my other one that mounted on the door panel. PLUS, Lori is a great person to deal with.

Got one.
Excellent and useful product and great service.
Lori is a peach.
But I did have to do some explaining to my wife about what I was buying from Girl-ina-box.

Girl-in-a-box sells them. They are great and fold out of the way. The only problem I have had is that my wife looked at me really suspiciously when the box arrived.

Lori was indeed a pleasure to buy from. I just happened across her auction and bought on the spot. I felt she deserved a little “viral marketing!”

Fortunately, I am not married!!!
