Re: [Chrysler300] Mercum Auction

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

The 300H was the first American car to have front seat belts as standard  
equipment.  This was a running change-----probably before January.
 
A word about the Swivel Seats.  The 1960 Chrysler Car Specification  
Schedule (Car Order Sheet) shows two versions of the swivel seat.  Code 472  is 
the Custom Swivel Seat, available on all except the 2 seat wagon and STANDARD  
on the 300F.   Code 473 is the Automatic Swivel Seat, NOT AVAILABLE on  the 
2 seat wagon AND 300F.  The automatic swivel seat was a new feature for  
1960, according to the 1960 Chrysler styling and engineering features  book.  
I cannot speak for the other 1960 Mopars, as I don't have the same  kind of 
info on them.
 
300ly, Gil Cunningham

Seatbelt - what was that? First  seatbelts were 1963 I think.

OK, very neat feature indeed but tell me what would have  happened if one
actually opened the door before releasing the seatbelt?  Ouch !

Swivel seats that opened when  the front doors were opened were 
available in
1960. Several accidents  occurred and people were thrown from the 
vehicles.
Chrysler recalled  the feature and disconnected the cables during the 
model
year. My  reference was John Hertog.
