Myself,  I've had USAF-surplus belts on every one of my cars since 1956 (do   
you remember the 1951 Kaiser?)

Scotty,
    Reminds me that I installed seat belts in my first  2 cars, the 1951 
Hudson Hornet and the 1958 Plymouth Convertible.  People  used to ask me if I 
"went racing" suspecting that's why I needed seat  belts.  I also installed a 
child's belt harness in the back of our first  Corvair (1965 Monza) so little Jim 
could stand up, sit or lie down but was  protected from sudden impacts.  That 
lasted for a few years until the  little rascal figured out how to unbuckle 
himself and showed up one day standing  between the front seats thereby shocking 
the h**l out of his poor mother who was  driving at the time.
    But Jim got the message and later refused to drive  unless EVERYBODY in 
his car (including his mother) was wearing a seat  belt.
    Thanks for reminding me,
    Frank "remembering" Burkhard
