<VV> Rear Seat Belts

[Kent Sullivan]

Here's more than anyone probably really cares to know about '64 seat belts:

Although the title of the article mentions "FC", it cover all '64 Corvair models. Bryan is correct about how rear belts could be obtained.

Rear belts (both custom, aka "standard", trim and custom deluxe trim) became available from the factory in March, 1965--and as a result, very few '65 Corvairs have the factory-installed version (RPO); more have the dealer-installed accessory version. Only 174 cars were equipped with the RPO A64 rear belts in custom (aka "standard" trim) for the 1965 model year while 260 cars had RPO A47 (custom deluxe trim).

I *think* the answer is that rear belts were always a dealer option on Earlies, in ’65 it was both factory and dealer, then in ’66 they were standard.

One item that I'm curious about is the rear seat belts. Were they ever available as an option for the 64 model year and were they factory or dealer installed? They are correct color and have the deluxe buckles as the fronts do.
