Seatbelts were an option in 1963. My 190dc was purchased factory direct
through an olds dealer in PA and I guess the buyer didnt view them as
worthwhile, so he didnt spec it that way.

If it was a fed car or one legally imported, in 1969, it was sold new 
with seatbelts.   People took them out, as some states required use, "if 
installed."

shoulder harness required in Germany by 1962.  No belt.  my 1962 190Dc 
had the shoulder strap.   I used it.   MBNA: Harness or belt was 
available as an Option.   Feds required belts in 1965.

Weldments and threaded fasteners (nuts) were present in the cars since the 
early 1960s. My 1962 300SE had the nuts in place with rubber plugs in them on 
the floor and “B” pillar.  Belts were optional until the early 60s, I think. 
Certainly by 1968 they were standard. Someone may have removed yours.

Getuftet. Proper tufting (as produced by the many, many Hispanically-owned 
upholstery shops near my home) is less checkerboardy, a bit more creative. I’ve

The picture of the engine compartment showed an intact engine.   The 
text said spare parts included.  Looked like there may be two heads off.

On a 1960 Falcon you can take the head off in 20 minutes.
Slightly longer to put it back on.  I know, I've done it, to remove
the accelerator pump nozzle screw that fell out and got sucked
in and embedded in a piston.  I removed the screw and put it back
together.  Didn't even use any new gaskets.  (I did need a new
screw, the pounding the piston gave it against the iron head
flattened it.)
