My father always used a cup holder insert that fit in the ash tray hole in his 66. I have never had need for one in my 67. The ash tray cup holder may very well be some authentic accessory, he has had the car since it was a year old.

Have you tried GriotsGarage.com? You can mount that cup holder any where on a verticle surface. They actually work quite well. I have seen them occassionally here on the SAMBA too.

Just cause I posted pictures in my gallery of the cup holder with beers in them does not mean I drink and drive. This was for observation purposes only.
If yall are interested in how I did mine out of PM me. several VW folks like the idea over the bamboo tray as nothing fall off or through it plus the hide away cup holder.

A few years ago I saw a interview with Alos Ruf. He was behind the wheel of one of his 700+hp modified Porsche's and when asked why there were no cup holders in the car he replied "at 180mph its best to have both hands on the steering wheel".

... i myself dislike all the center consoles. i bought a universal single cup holder from pep boys. mounted on the passenger side of the tunnel. is very small, and don't take up a lot of room. cheap and it looks good too.

Have you seen one of these?

Fits over the tunnel, works pretty well and has a small area for other stuff.

Use your door pockets as a cup holder.
Also, the cop can't see if it is a beer or a soda, because they are so deep.
