Wayne, I think Bob either has a Gen3 or Gen4 (1996-2004) Taurus or the LX or SHO model of the Gen1/2 Taurus. He's describing the cupholder in the center console of these models and it sounds like you have the pop-out type under the radio found in most Gen1's and Gen2's (1986-1995). Just to eliminate any confusion. =)
