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...

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.
