Re: {Chrysler 300} 300H Seat Belts and Buckles

[Nick Taylor <nicksgaragesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that Nash was the first to offer factory installed belts. I know the Tucker was supposed to have them but people back then had the impression that if you needed seat belts, it was because the car was inherently unsafe. Volvo was the first to patent three point belts with a shoulder belt. They allowed any manufacturer to use their design free of charge.

I may be incorrect but I heard that the 300H was the first factory production car that came off the assembly line with factory installed seat belts. I have no actual proof.

Greetings all.  This past May I had my 300H coupe judged in the Original Class at the AACA Western National Meet in Tucson where it was successfully awarded an Original Badge.  I just got the judging score sheet back, however, which notes that it was tagged for non-factory seat belts.  Photos of one of my belts and its buckle are attached. I thought the strap number and plain buckle were correct. Can anyone help me out here with direction towards documentation?

Thanks in advance for any advice and/or wisdom!
