Shoulder belt seat belts
« on: February 21, 2012 - 10:00:16 PM »
When did they become an option? Would have my '72  Challenger of had them? My '73 Charger did. The ones that folded up on the headliner panel.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

I think all e-bodies had shoulder belts...

The crappy "spend 5 minutes re-folding them along the headliner" type from 70-73 and then 3-point retractors in the final year.

yep, 74 is the only year that came with retractors.  The shoulder belt went down into the rear interior panel.

Thanks for the replies everyone. My car seems to be missing a few things, lol.
