Seat belts were first introduced in the early 20th century, with the earliest designs appearing in the 1900s. However, widespread use and manufacturing of seat belts began in the 1950s, particularly after the introduction of the three-point seat belt by Nils Bohlin in 1959. This design significantly improved passenger safety and became standard in vehicles thereafter.
In the year 1949 seat belts became an option in cars.
If the vehicle was originally manufactured with seat belts, a dealer must sell the vehicle with working seat belts. a private individual is typically under no such restrictions, but it depends on the state.
You do not need seat belts if your car was originally manufactured without them, and they have never been installed. At any time seat belts are installed, they must be maintained for the lift of the car.
I believe it was the first year of seat belts being standard equipment on the Thunderbird.

In the United States, vehicles manufactured before 1968 are generally not required to have seat belts. The federal mandate for seat belts in passenger vehicles began with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, which required all new cars to include seat belts starting in 1968. Therefore, vehicles from 1967 and earlier do not have to be equipped with seat belts. However, regulations can vary by state, so it's important to check local laws for specific requirements.
