The 73 Mustang
How the Beverage Bandit™ Solved a Classic Mustang Owner's Problem (And Made His Car Show Perfect)
There's something special about classic cars that makes every detail matter. Just ask Dennis, the proud owner of a pristine Red 1973 Ford Mustang. While his beauty of a classic turns heads wherever it goes, Dennis faced a common challenge that plagues vintage car enthusiasts – where to put his drink during drives without compromising his Mustang's authentic look.
Like many classic car owners, Dennis refused to drill holes or make permanent modifications to his beloved Mustang. After all, preserving the integrity of a classic isn't just about maintenance; it's about respecting automotive history. But with a major car show on the horizon, he needed a solution that would blend seamlessly with his Mustang's interior while providing the convenience of modern vehicles.
That's when Dennis discovered the Beverage Bandit™, a cup holder specifically designed with classic car enthusiasts in mind. His story isn't just about finding a place to put his drink – it's about maintaining the perfect balance between preservation and practicality in the world of classic cars.
Dennis first reached out to us with a problem that’s all too familiar for classic car owners. He’d been prepping his ’73 Mustang for an upcoming car show and wanted everything to be just right—from the polished chrome down to the tiniest interior detail. But there was one modern convenience his Mustang simply didn’t have: a place to keep his drink steady and secure.
He didn’t want a flimsy plastic add-on or anything permanent that would take away from the car’s timeless interior. For classic cars like his, traditional cup holders just don’t cut it.
That’s when he found the Beverage Bandit™—a soft, bean bag-style cup holder that sits securely on the seat or console without sliding around or scratching surfaces. Problem solved.
The Beverage Bandit™ doesn’t require any installation, it can be moved wherever needed, and it looks right at home in this vintage vehicle. Dennis knew he’d found exactly what he needed.
With the car show just days away, Dennis needed a quick turnaround to make sure his Mustang was ready—right down to the perfectly placed cup holder. He placed his order for two Beverage Bandits, one for him and one for his co-pilot, hoping they’d arrive in time.
We understood how important this event was for Dennis and made it a priority to get his order out fast. No delays. No excuses. The Beverage Bandits shipped the same day.
“They arrived just in time!” Dennis shared excitedly. As he prepped his Mustang for the weekend showcase, the cup holders were the finishing touch. Installed in seconds—no tools, no hardware—they were instantly at home in his classic ride.
For Dennis, it wasn’t just about holding a drink. It was about solving a problem, and keeping his car cool, clean, and completely period-correct.
When Dennis’s ’73 Mustang rolled into the car show, it wasn’t just the gleaming paint job or roaring engine that caught everyone’s eye. The interior shots Dennis shared tell the real story—a cabin that’s stayed true to its retro roots while cleverly incorporating modern convenience. Two Beverage Bandit™ cup holders, nestled snugly between the seats, looking like they’d always belonged there.
The bean bag design was perfect for Dennis’s Mustang—no clamps, screws, or Velcro to clash with the vintage upholstery. The Beverage Bandit preserved the Mustang’s originality while solving a decades-old problem for classic car owners. With drinks securely perched in the Beverage Bandit’s cup no spills, no sliding—just a polished classic ready for the spotlight.
For Dennis, the car show wasn’t just a win for his Mustang. It was proof that the right accessories can elevate a classic car’s experience without sacrificing its soul.
