  1. Back when I bought my MORRIS belts there was the GM logo option (shown in this picture) that I paid extra for.
  2. Do they still offer the buckle in the smaller size that looks just like the OEM deluxe belts, and do they still ask if it's for bench or bucket seats? I really like them because prior to getting them I NEVER used the shoulder strap belt in my 71 Monte. Enjoy and be safe!
  3. I don't know about 72 it may have been improved for 72 but yes for 71 with the optional deluxe safety belts. My 71 Deluxe option had a fixed length Female end that has the release button with a smaller release button and an automatic tension retractor / roll up on the other Male end.
  4. Could someone sew a piece of leather or some other material, into a cover that would slide over the seat belt?
  5. Check out the MORRIS 3 point safety belt system for the ft two seats. I like mine.
  6. This is what I remember about the old Kmart store near me:
  7. Welcome to the club!! I picked black when I ordered my 71 Monte Carlo way back in 1971. Enjoy it and this club is a great place to ask questions about first gen Monte Carlo's. We love pictures too!!!!
  8. Remember Wolverine Cigar on the North side of 11 Mile rd and a corner street (I don't remember the name) not too far West of I-75 ?
  9. Chris, No gift, savings from the day I was born. I started delivering the Detroit News, helping my brother, when I was about 8 years old. He sold it to me in 1964 and I delivered papers, cut neighbors lawn and washed windows till 1972. The Detroit news did gift me (and some other paperboys) a trip to Washington DC in 1967 and a trip to London England in 1972. Good times!
  10. My favorite memory is the week I picked up my new 71 Monte Carlo, from the Chevy dealership and drove it home. About 2 weeks later I graduated from High School, class of 71. I am so happy I still have it!
  11. Do you have or know someone who has an account with https://www.bumper.com/ to look up a VIN #? I am trying to look up the 1973 Mercury Cougar VIN# 3F91H575704 my wife owned, her first car, that was stolen Sept 1979 in Troy Michigan. I know it's silly and I don't want to sign up with some scam thing and get stuck paying for what probably is a waste of time. I saw an add for https://www.bumper.com/ and there may be other / better ways to look up an old VIN number. Thoughts??? We saw one like it at a car show and it got her thinking about it........... Thanks.
  12. Happy labor day everyone!
  13. I don't remember where I got these but I did work for DuPont Automotive finishes in Troy, Michigan so I assume I got them from work and made a scan of them years ago.
  14. Morris is what I used and they are great.
  15. My right mirror started to "drop" when my wife shut the rt door so she had to adjust it so I could see. After several years it got so bad I took a wad of "dum dum" putty, smashed it behind the mirror on the inside bottom, did a final adjustment and it's been great ever since! I think that was about two years ago.
