My Benz G55 has the best cup holders i've ever seen in a vehicle. This one in-particular is a cool option for cars (like mine) that don't have one. It folds up and down... and your Latte won't spill. It holds everything from bottle water, fountain drinks, Starbucks Iced and hot drinks...ect. It works real well. You can install it virtually anywhere. Its real stout..and even takes a bit of muscle to fold up or down. Nice piece.

I think it was $75 bucks at the Benz dealer. Kinda pricey... but a good piece.

Not saying its not a great piece, BUT its a dead ringer for a game of hoops at the local drive inn :rofl: . Just need a scaled down basketball !

Put down your coke, latte, frap or any other liquids and pick up smoking. :unibrow:
my 67 chevelle has 3 ash trays and no cup holders..lol. I guess you can see gm's priorities in 67.

If anything, double fisting and pro-touring should be a sport of it's own.:rofl:

What's the part # ??

I could use those in my 78 z28 and 442. Simple, yet effective. But they are way overpriced.

Josh, I like yours better but here's (http://cgi.ebay.com/folding-cup-holder-fit-VW-Volkswagen-golf-jetta-passat-/290375826049?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item439bbf7a81) another option. I used to have a pic of a Corvette with a couple of these mounted to either side of the trans tunnel....actually looked ok and they had a nice spot for the bottled water!

I was just thinking the same thing.
Ebay has a ton of inexpensive options, but often you get what you pay for in terms of quality.

I was just browsing everything on there for awhile......some nice stainless options.
