: : What year did the fasten seatbelts reminder appear on top of the dashboards? Just wondering, my current dash looks like the Grand Canyon and I have a good condition two piece dash with out the seatbelt billboard on top of the dash and I was wondering what year the dash is from?

: Gordon,
: The infamous seatbelt interlock system as mandated by the government safety geeks was introduced in 1974. The fasten seatbelt billboard was an integral to the system. As the original owner of my 74 2002, I remember all the grief this system caused and the irate owners. The government finally relented in 75 and allowed dealers to disable the system. Mine had been disabled by myself early on. I dont need no steenkin fed to tell me to wear my seatbelt.
