    Cleaned up the car, not bad for 40 years old and original paint I must say.

    four door cars always seem to stay in good shape. but the interior usually sees way more miles than the outside

    nice car

    There are a few things that puzzle me. One is the glove box, I thought a 73 had a tray or maybe its an option. Also the shoulder belts are dated 10/73 and the car was built in 3/73 and delivered in April. Again maybe it went back to the dealer for them to be installed ??

    73 was the change-over year for trays-to-glove boxes. The early 73's (built in late summer 72) were still using the tray.

    Your hypothesis regarding the seatbelts would make sense, I suppose.
