Re: [Chrysler300] seat belt color

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

All:
Can you stand any more on the seat belt subject?   Hope so, as I  want to 
clarify just a couple things.
 
1. There were NO factory seat belts available for the 300F, (or 300G,  for 
that matter.)
 
2. The 300H was the FIRST American car to have front seat belts as  
standard equipment.  The earliest date
    I can find is January of 1962 on a Chrysler  publication.  It states 
they were "Factory Installed", and that 
    they carried the traditional 300 red white and blue  emblem on the 
buckles.
 
3. Color.  A Chrysler Mopar accessories publication dated September  1961 
(or later, can't read the first few 
    letters of the month) advises of the availability  of seat belt 
packages from Chrysler dealers for all models.
    For the models in which the belt goes thru the seat  back, and requires 
a grommet, it specifically states 
    1960, 61, and 62 usage.  This "universal seat  belt" part number is 
2298 749.  These are NOT the same 
    belts as the 300H.  They appear to have a  "nubby" webbing and are 
clearly the Hickok brand.  They do
    have the metal to metal buckle with no visible  logo.  Oh 
yes,----color!   These dealer installed Hickok
    belts were available in Red, Green, Royal Blue,  Navy Blue, Maroon, 
Black, Beige, and Gray----just specify
    which you would like.

Question....Were seat belts available as an option for the F in  1960?

If so, what color would they have been  for the standard F  interior and 
what type hardware would they have used?

I have what I  believe to be "period correct" hardware, buckles etc but 
need to have new  webbing sewn on. The buckles are the chromed "lift type" 
release. Any one use  this "Snake Oyle" outfit or any other seat belt repair 
place you could  recommend?

Thanks
