Seat belts began to be mandated in various countries during the 1960s and 1970s. In the United States, the first state to require seat belts was New York in 1984. Other states followed suit, and by the early 1990s, most states had enacted laws requiring seat belt use. Today, seat belt laws vary by state, but they generally promote the use of seat belts for safety in vehicles.

Yes, it is advisable to use seat belts even in older cars that did not originally come with them, as they significantly enhance safety during a crash. Many jurisdictions have laws requiring seat belts in all vehicles, regardless of their age. Retrofitting a vehicle with seat belts can help protect passengers and reduce the risk of injury. Always check local regulations and consider the safety benefits.
Not necessarily. By 1964, Most U.S. automobiles were sold with standard front seat belts; rear seat belts were made standard in 1968. So there were cars sold in 1960 that did not have seat belts.
