Seat belt webbing

[richard burgess <lecrown60@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

My '60 LeBaron came with factory belts.  They were a standard width belt (2"), but of a courser thicker weave then we find today.  My belts were labled made exclusively for Chrysler.  There was even a silver sticker on the dash that said: "fasten seat belt" that included the makers' name so I know that it was original.  The sticker is a silver oval and pretty tacky.  The buckles are the flip-up type, square, chrome.  The belts connect to the floor with a hook mechanism to a ring, some have double rectangle buckles that hold the belt at the floor.  The 1960 Chrysler master accesssories catalog does show these belts.  I have ordered new belts from ssnake-oyl.  1-800-526-4500 or try www.ssnake-oyl.com.  I have not received them yet.  My car had only driver and front passenger belts.

Hi all,

I am thinking of putting period seatbelts in my Le Baron . I know nothing of the webbing or the width etc, plus the correct colour for the brown interior for my Le Baron. Were the original seatbelts made from canvas ?

Regards

60 Le Baron.
