1964 Seat Belt Tags

[James W.]

I have a mid January of 1964 built Corvette #9258 and would like to know what seat belt ID tags I should have. At present they are the CHEVROLET '63 tags. The 63/64 JG does not say what is correct. I know that there were tags with either Chevrolet or Corvette on them but which is correct?

Thanks,

I am pretty sure that the labels on the seat belts for 1964 Corvettes had the heading "Corvette". 1963 models had the heading "Chevrolet". I suppose it's possible, as laways, that very early 1964 models used 63 belts, but I don't think that your car would qualify, at all, as an "early" 1964.

For 64 through 66, the labels were headed "Corvette". For 1967 and thereafter the heading was "GM".

My September '63 built car has labels that say Corvette although I cannot say for sure if I have the original belts.
