Seat belts were invented in the 19th century by the English engineer George Cayley, but were not required to be installed in new cars in the US before 1959.
There were no infant car seats in 1956 to speak of. There were attempts to make an infant seat but there were never sold in any quantities. In fact there were no seat belts in 1956 except on the Ford which installed seat belts that year for the first time. No other American manufacture installed them that year. Safety was not a concern at that time.
In the year 1949 seat belts became an option in cars.

Yes. The only autos not coverd under the seat belt laws are the ones built so long ago that they were not installed at the factory. yes you need seat belts in the jeep however Because of the year of your vehicle you are only required to have what would have normally been installed by the factory in 1973 which would have been the front seat and rear seat single Lap belts. The 3 point shoulder belts that are used today were not required in US vehicles until Feb 1974 so there were many pre 1974 model vehicles with just lap belts and no shoulder belts...
I believe it was the first year of seat belts being standard equipment on the Thunderbird.
Should have factory lap and shoulder belts. AMC changed this in either the '81 or '82 model year, I believe it was '81.
What year is your car if it has been in an accident the seat belts can fail as a safety precaution My vehicle is a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. The Front Seat belts are half way out and will not retract. Can I get them to retract?
