Lift latch buckles were the look of American cars in the late fifties and early sixties, and this Seatbelt Planet front belt brings that style back to an Impala bench seat. You get a fixed two-point lap belt for one front position with a flip-up lift latch, offered in a bright chrome or a period black wrinkle finish, plus the bolts to mount it.
Vehicle Fit
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for 1958-1964 Chevrolet Impala models with a front bench. Each order covers one seating position, so a driver and passenger setup takes two. Cars that came without factory belts may need anchor provisions checked before ordering.
Choosing a Color
The strap is made to order in your choice of 52 colors, and 13 of those are specialty shades that carry an extra charge. Early Impala interiors ran from turquoise and red to silver, fawn and black, so it is worth comparing the chart against an unfaded part of your upholstery.
Why Upgrade?
Many Impalas of this age either never had front belts or carry aftermarket units added decades ago, often with mismatched webbing and tired buckles. A correct-style lift latch belt gives the cabin a period look while replacing worn, sun-damaged straps.
Maintenance
Flip the latch fully open before pulling the tongue free, and avoid letting the metal buckle drop against painted door sills. A soft brush and mild soapy water will lift dirt from the strap without fading it.
About the 1958-1964 Impala
The Impala started as the top Bel Air trim for 1958, wearing an one-year body with triple taillights, then became its own series in 1959 with the famous batwing fins. Chevrolet added the Super Sport option for 1961, and through the early sixties Impala sales climbed to the top of the full-size field.
Pre-Install Checklist
Remove the seat or slide it fully forward to see the floor. Find the threaded anchor locations near each side of the front cushion, clear out undercoating or rust, and confirm the floor pan is solid.
Good to Know
Choose the push button version instead if you prefer a different buckle style.
Lift latch buckles open by lifting the hinged cover, a motion that feels natural to anyone who grew up riding in cars of this era.
Black wrinkle finish suits cars with darker interiors, while chrome matches the bright dash trim found on many Impalas from these years.
Owners who show their cars often order the front and rear belts together in one color so the whole cabin looks consistent.
