"   Now that brings up a good question and it is somewhat AMC related. If
"   your car did not originaly have seat belts would you have to put them
"   in and how would you put the sholdier belt in them. Around here they
"   let every thing go in classic cars. Open headers, no fenders, slicks
"   you name it they don't bother them. You know though the way they push
"   the seat belt law around here I could see a young cop who wasn't a car
"   guy that wouldn't have a clue that cars were made without seat belts.
"   How long has it been 40 years since cars didn't have them.

'68 for shoulder belts, iirc '66 for lap belts.  many cars had belts
optional or even standard before that.  our '66 volvo had excellent
single-latch shoulder belts.
