[Chrysler300] anyone know anyone with 1957 300 factory seatbelts?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought I'd ask before many of you are all together at Lawton Meet so 
someone may remember/know!? - following on from my earlier request for help 
identifying the Mopar seat belts I have in one of my 300Cs, a former 
designer/employee of Chrysler has since indicated that the belts I have are 
likely NOT 1955 or other earlier issue/design, but rather 1957.

So if that makes them correct for being installed either by factory or 
dealer in my 300C, does anyone know an owner, or 300C car, that either has, 
or is remembered as having, these cable ended Mopar seat belts?!

Now about a year ago, I saw a similar single such belt offered on ebay, but 
otherwise from here in Australia, it near impossible I know who may be able 
to help here.
Preferrably it would be best/ideal if any car that has them, is one that has 
an ownership that is known for many of it's years, or better, was known to 
be purchased that way, and the belts thereby known to be installed as they 
were originally.

The mystery we are trying to solve is: 1) what is the factory recommended 
way to install 57 300 Mopar belts?  and 2) if this is different to how '55 
belts installed, when did the change from 55 begin?
(ie/eg - how were '56 300 Mopar belts installed, and/plus - how long after 
'57 did cable end belts continue for?  before replaced by the later 'sewn in 
bolt through into floor ends' that vitually continue to today as the common 
method of installation?

Maybe this can be a mystery quiz question for Lawton organiser to test 300 
owners' 300 knowledge?
Just joking, hope you are going to have a far better time than think about 
small items like this!!!,

Owners with later 300s with now well known factory installation belts are 
lucky it was/is much easier solving their belt mysteries !!
