“Hold My Beer” – The Cup Holder Your Olds Deserves
Let’s face it—when Oldsmobile built these cars, they were thinking about horsepower, chrome, and making sure your mullet looked good in the wind. What they weren’t thinking about? Cup holders.
Yeah, yeah, we get it. Real drivers don’t need a cup holder because both hands should be on the wheel, right? Well, unless you plan on chugging your beverage of choice before every stoplight (not recommended), you’re gonna need a place to put that drink. Enter this cup holder, custom-designed for the center console of your Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme, SX, 442, Rally 350, or Hurst Olds.
The Story Behind It (Because Every Great Product Needs One)
Picture this: I’m at a car show with a friend, checking out some sweet rides, when I notice she’s trying to wedge a homemade cup holder into her ‘72 Hurst Olds console. Now, this thing had about as much chance of fitting as a square peg in a round hole—or as your ex’s mixtape fitting into your modern Bluetooth setup. Naturally, I said, “Hold my beer… I got this.”
The problem? I didn’t have a matching console to test fit. Luckily, my friend had a spare one lying around, so for the next month, that console sat in my living room, staring at me while I brainstormed how to make this work. After many failed attempts (and possibly some bad words), I finally cracked the code.
The Specs – Because Details Matter
• Fits snugly just in front of the automatic shifters and right behind the stick shifters. Might fit in front of the manual, but I don’t have one in front of me to confirm—so if you try it, let me know!
• Two versions:
• Polycarbonate composite (lightweight, durable, and ships fast)
• Special Edition Billet Aluminum (with your choice of engraving because class matters)
• Cup openings are 3 3/8” wide—perfect for a Yeti or your gas station Big Gulp.
• Silicone removable insert at the bottom—because let’s be real, you will spill coffee when you launch this thing off the line.
• Held in place with two small pieces of VHB tape and foam padding to protect your pristine console.
Handcrafted in the Backwoods of Mid-Michigan
Like everything from Backwoods Fabrications, this is made by an Oldsmobile owner for Oldsmobile owners. The composite version ships within a day or two, and the billet aluminum version (with custom engraving) takes up to two weeks. After you order, I’ll reach out for your design, send a proof for approval, and then get to work.
So if you’re tired of balancing your drink in your lap or jamming it between the seats, it’s time to fix that. Order one now and give your Olds the upgrade it should have had from the factory.
Because classic muscle deserves a modern convenience. 🍺
