I recall that when my parents bought a 1966 car (in Ontario - but I believe the required equipment is a federal standard), front belts were standard but rear were an option (price $7 if memory is good). There was a further option of "deluxe" belts that gave you a push-button release rather than lever action. When they bought a 1971, I think it had rear belts standard but I'm not sure. Interesting the odd bits that stick in memory while others don't.
