I was an early believer in seat belts a/la SCCA. I am of the memory that "factory" seat belts were dealer installed far into the 1960's. It was not until mandated by government that belts were installed in the factory, and may still have been extra cost. Until standardized in the 70's.

Dave, 

The 300H was the first American car to have seat belts installed by the 
factory. All '62 Chryslers had seat-belt anchors built right into the body so 
the customer could easily install their own seat-belts per the 1962 
Chrysler Engineering and Styling confidential bulletin.

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 
Dave Schwandt
