They may have been standard installation, but I'm pretty sure it was still legal to drive without them, right? As late as about 1980, a car salesman was trying to convince my mother-in-law that a particular vehicle would be perfect for them, despite the fact that they were a family of 5 and it only had 4 seatbelts.
Actually, now that I think about it, children now have all sorts of seatbelt laws, but I think it's still legal today to be an unbelted adult in the back seat.
