Re: [Chrysler300] 300B Seat Belts

["hmpirish" <hmpirish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Again, 300Fans,

I'm delighted to acknowledge my long held, but now certainly erroneous, 
opinion about seatbelts being offered in '56, was wrong.

Sean, in this msg, and John Cote in another,  both indicate they've seen and 
documented what clearly are Chrysler installations.  I hope when convenient, 
John will put out what he has too, for all our wider knowledge.

Thank you both for filling in a "blind spot" for me.

All the Best 300ing!

Phil Irish
