Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | I bought these Fordward Look buckles last summer from a 62 Chrysler parts car and finally got them polished up this spring and had new webbing installed. Also bought a set of these nifty retractors on Ebay, made by Stor-a-Belt which keeps them nicely rolled back. The Forward Look Buckles were made in Canada by "Davis Canadian Nameplate Co. Ltd."

Location: bishop, ca | Note to thread: those seat belts that David missed out on went for $38.85 (cheap) plus $10.00 shipping.
Two bidders placing three bids, with the last bid being sniped about 6 seconds before the end of that timed bidding event.

Location: The Great Northwest | I wouldn't feel too bad about missing that auction because it was for one belt only. If you already have one and were just looking for another one to match then that was a good deal. If you now own just the one listed on ebay, then you are still looking for at least one more. I'm waiting for the listing of four NOS matching Forward Look belts......................... :-) |
