Hello Kirk,
I've read the statues for Washington State. Here, any car sold in
or after the 1964 Model year was required to have front seat
belts. If a car originally sold in another state is brought into
Washington, the owner has 60 days (IIRC) to install them.
There's an RC#. lets' call it 1145.67
A later law lets call it RC 1245.7, requires 3 point lap and
shoulder belts as per federal law (1968), and a still later law
call for belts in the rear seats. lets call it RC 1345.7.
A still later law says that anyone riding in a car covered under
rc 1145.7, 1245.7 or 1345.7 must wear the belts...
and a still later law say that any car equipped under any of the
three must use a child safety seat.
This is the only law i've ever seen dealing with automobiles that
requires retrofitting of safety equipment, as Federal law dealing
with seat belts didn't come into effect until, again IIRC 1966,
with the majority of now accepted safety equipment coming in
1968.
