Adding Seat Belts To A Vintage Packard - ??

Posted by Bill_OBrien On 2010/7/13 1:14:27

I recently read an article about a vintage Ford collection. The owners have added seat belts to all of their vintage cars due to friends of theirs being killed in an accident in their vintage car.

It gets me to thinking that maybe my Model A and Packard should have seat belts. The upside is that they can easily be tucked away and hidden. Yes, there will be a permanent change to the car with the holes that have to be drilled to mount the belts.

Does anyone have any experience with mounting belts? Can holes be drilled and backing plates be bolted in place and not welded??

Do the 50's packards have seat belts? They might look appropriate in the vintage Packards...

Thanks gents!
