Interesting that it is 6 volt.  I would not have expected that seat belts and 6 v electrical systems overlapped.

Was thinking myself:  "Did they have seat belts in 6V cars?"

From the wiki-thingie:

"American car manufacturers Nash (in 1949) and Ford (in 1955) offered seat belts as options, while Swedish Saab first introduced seat belts as standard in 1958"

No lights, just magnetic attachment,  effective seat belt notice, after the laughs

Sit down 

Buckle up and

Shut UP

It makes you wonder how many of these things were sold. I have never seen a car with one.

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was more of a commercial thing for either amusement or tour rides.  Surprising there would be enough demand to make many of them.  How long did the Brits run 6 volt?  We all know nothing works better with Lucas electrical than 6 volts.

I thought the VW Bug was about the last to have a 6 Volt system in 1966.

I had a '50 Hudson that had quite vintage looking seat belts, plus many other options.

Most Americans preferred being thrown thru the windshield and disemboweling themselves on the

steering wheel  than to wear a seat belt.That SAAB like many other European cars was probably a

12 volt car as were earlier MG's and others from England.

Lord Lucas,the father of darkness.When I was helping Don Thompson at European Motors in Ohio

I answered the phone and was asked if we knew anything about Lucas electrical systems and I

replied, "We are the veterans of 100.000 blown fuses".He had a Jaguar XK120 that had been

stored in a garage owned by a long deceased lawyer.
