64 seat belt label question
Can anyone help with tag info for a set of original 1964 seat belt tags that read Corvette not Chevrolet? Judging guide shows Chevrolet as being correct but my car has corvette on label. My car has a Feb 64 build date.

Re: 64 seat belt label question
Jaime,
We had a long discussion on this about a year ago and it appears both may be correct.
The earlier belts were Chevrolet while later were the Corvette. It depends upon the color. For example known original Black belts have been reported on Jan64 cars as Corvette while the lesser used color such as White were still the Chevrolet on an original Mar64 car.
Note the Chevrolet labels will have the "63" date on them. Expect that means they were made in 1963 & could have been on Dec 1963 when 1964 corvettes were being made. Perhaps one of those with the Corvette label will check out their date - bet its 64.
Remember being at a show back in the late 70's where a person got hit for having the "Chevrolet" and now it should be. Just another minor detail
which needs some more research.
