Hello Brandt,

It turns out that you could get any color seat belts you wanted from Chrysler in 1961 as long as they were black.

  Hello Gil, Rick & all! I put in a set of seat belts for the fronts only, for my G around six months ago from 'The Paddock', which are tan, like the seats. Wasn't tan a possible color for seat belts at leaste for '61 as well as black!? I am aware that belts weren't from factory (only dealer installed), 'til '62. At the concours judging at Tahoe, I was only docked 1 point out of a possible 5 so I figured I might have been right with the color (don't want to get anyone in trouble here).
  Well, on another note, I'll miss you all at Lawton, OK! Plans unfortunately changed for me but I'll be there in spirit!!
  Sincerely & 300ly, Brandt H. J. w/ a G.

  Hi Rick and All:
  As you may know, factory seat belts were not available until optional 
  on the 300H. Later in the 1962 M.Y. they became standard equipment on 
  the "H", making it the first American car, as far as I know, to have 
  them standard. Of course, dealer installed belts were available in 
  previous years. All these early belts were black. When my 300F was on 
  the "spit" during its resto, I had seatbelt anchor/reinforcements 
  welded to the floor. There were dimples for location in the 
  floor----both front and rear. For the purposes of driving it to the 
  Asheville meet, I just bought a pair of seatbelts from Pep Boys. As 
  soon as I find something more authentic, I will transfer them to the 
  rear, probably. Snake Oyl is the name I associate with vintage seat 
  belts, and know some of the members have used them. 
  300ly, Gil Cunningham---visiting grandson in Buffalo, 
  NY at the moment.

  Bruce is picking up his G soon and realizes he needs front seat 
  belts. I looked
  up the part numbers on PartsVoice and found that NOS ones are 
  unobtainium. What
  have you G or F or H owners done for seatbelts? and what color are they 
  supposed
  to be? Who is a good aftermarket supplier and where are the belts 
  anchored?

  Thanks,
  Rick Ehrmann
