The frustrating thing is that they have shrunk so much due to the passenger airbag. I actually remember when people used them for gloves, back in the 50s.
Mine holds the car manual, insurance card, napkins, straws and pens. I try to clean it out every few months but it seems to constantly overflow with junk I find on the floor.

Depends on the car. My Versa has a humongous glove compartment. Seriously, I could fit several loaves of bread in there. It kind of helps that Nissan stuck the passenger air bag under the trim on the front of the dash.
On the other hand, my friend's Bronco has the teeniest glove box ever, and it doesn't even have a passenger side air bag. I think he can fit a pack of cigarettes and a flashlight inside and that's about it.
Little car, glove compartment as big as a breadbox. Huge SUV, barely enough room for a light and a pack of smokes. Go figure.
I remember when some glove compartment doors acted as a drink holder when open. Pop it open and the door fully opens in a flat horizontal position with two slightly recessed round slots where you placed your soda while sitting at the drive in burger joint. Some models had a key lock on the door which allowed owners to place valuables inside when using valet parking. Some dumb companies had the lock using the exact same key as the ignition key.
Yes, but the ones on our 69 Chevy C10 wouldn't hold much more than a small cup because there was not enough clearance between the door and dash pad.
