58 Seat belt direction

[Brad H.]

I see in so many pictures the label facing both ways, both labels in when buckled, both out, and one of each, does it matter for judging, if so what is correct? Thanks, Brad.

Did not find anything in the 61-62 Judging Manual. My guess is that they came through different ways depending if the car was buillt on a Monday, Friday, or mid week. LOL I worked in a Chevy store that my dad ran in the 60's and nothing surprises me.

Terry, (anybody) are we then safe to say that label can face either way without a deduction? Thanks again, Brad.

Brad:

When the belts are buckled, the labels are down (not to be seen)

Frank, thanks for the reply, that is what I thought I have heard in the past for correct. Brad.

Brad,

Bill Mashinter had a good pic of the seat belt label on the male buckle side. Here's one of the other side. The label is gone, but you can see the rectangular stitching. It is farther down so it won't pull through the tightener on the female buckle.
