I finished changing out the interior panels in my Coronet and discovered that the rear seat belts were missing. I also discovered the car was originally dark green with a green interior (fender tag is missing) that was converted to black (glove box door was painted black from green and the headliner has obviously been replaced).
That got me to thinking - since the interior was converted and I am missing the rear belts, am I also missing the front shoulder belts? There aren't any in it now.
Did '69 B bodies come with shoulder belts (bench seat car)?

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I have an extra set of e-body seatbelts. Do you think they would fit?
What do the shoulder retainers on the roof look like?

Didn't shoulder belts become manitory Jan 1 of 69, meaning prior to Jan it was an option. I believe this is the case with headrest but unclear on the shoulder belts.
Careful, your character's showing!

Here is the 1969 dealer data book info from Hamtramck Historical.
Front shoulder belts were standard equipment (except on convertibles where is was an extra cost option).
Headrests were an extra cost option but "will be standard equipment at a later date" (which was Jan 1, 1969)
