So one of the reasons I have my car is that it's a 1967. It's the first year for both mandatory safety glass and rear seat belts. That means I can safely put a baby seat in it and drive my daughter to day care.
That works fine for now, but it also presents a future issue: In California, kids must ride with shoulder belts in all cars until the age of 8. I don't think there's an exception for cars that didn't come with them originally. My wife may not make that exception, either. But I am planning on keeping this car as my daily driver for many years to come. I need to get them into the car before my oldest child needs them in a few years
So I have a couple years to put in rear shoulder belts. Are there other states that mandate retrofitting rear shoulder belts? Has anyone retrofitted belts to the back seat of a 1967 C Body? For those who don't follow my personal car selection, it's specifically a 1967 Imperial Crown Sedan.
