  As best as I can tell, seat belts (2, front) became an option in 1962. 
In 1964, two front retractable seat belts became an option... this might 
mean that non-retracting lap belts were now standard. In '66, front and rear 
center seatbelts were optional, strongly implying that two front and two 
rear belts were standard. Front driver and passenger shoulder belts became 
an option  in '67, and rear left and right shoulder belts became an option 
in '68. In '69, six seat belts were standard, and front driver and passenger 
shoulder belts were an option for half the year, then required. I don't 
think read shoulder belts ever became standard.
