John,
Hang onto those belts and get another 59 Sport Fury to attach em to!!
Then you will have full forgiveness from the group....

Just checked my parts shelf and
lo and belhold, there they are. A flame red Hickok seat belt still
in the box with instructions and all hardware and another box with a Hickok
seat belt retractor. If memory serves me right I bought these
back in the '60's while serving in Coast Guard on weather ship. The
ship had a safety program and was selling seat belts at a bargain price
(cigarettes cost a buck a carton out at sea) to promote safety in older
cars that did not have seat belts. At that time I had a '59 Plymouth
Sport Fury with red interior with no belts. Obviously I never installed
them - too busy with wine, women, and song I guess. I hung onto the
seat belt - now if I only would've held on to the car. But then again
I had a chance to buy a Graham automobile that was for sale at a gas station
in Portland, Maine for $150 (daily driver) but youth and ignorance were
abundant at that time. John Z in Mosinee, WI
