It was made Federal law that all cars manufactured in '68 or later have seat belts. Personally I have seat belts in all my vehicles.

In Tennessee any vehicle that was made before 1968 or 69(don't remember <br>which) is exempt from the seatbelt law. Done been down that road with a 55 <br>Chevrolet.
