<VV> Did 1962 Corvairs have seatbelts??

[Jason Cesana]

My 60 had the holes drilled and then rubber plugs installed. Took me half an
hour to put them in for the kids.

60 & 61 Corvair could have seatbelts...They were a dealer installed option.

My Parents had a 62 4 door.  Their first "New" car.  Dad recently told me
that it didnt have seat belts until his employer provided them.  They
insisted that all "Company" cars (he had a 61 Chevy) have belts and also
provided them, at no charge, for employees personal vehicles.  He worked for
that Tobacco company for 35 plus years. Everett WilsonNorth Richland Hills

No, not as standard equipment.  '62 Corvairs did, for the first time,  come
from the factory with mounting holes drilled in the floors for the
installation of lap belts for front, outboard positions.  Thus, little plugs
found under the carpet or rubber mat could be popped out and optional seat 
belts easily bolted in for the driver and one front passenger.  Some states
began requiring this front lap belt mounting provision for cars beginning
with the 1962 model year.  I know, for instance, that Ohio did.
