The 1965 Impala ushered in a new look with curved side glass and a longer, lower body, and this Seatbelt Planet front belt fits that generation through 1968. It is a two-point fixed lap belt with a lift latch buckle in your choice of chrome or black wrinkle, sold for one front bench position with hardware.
Fitment Notes
Seatbelt Planet lists this belt for 1965-1968 Chevrolet Impalas with a front bench seat. Order one belt for each front seat you need to cover.
Available Colors
Choose any of 52 webbing colors from the swatch chart, 13 of which are specialty colors. Mid-sixties Impala interiors were offered in many shades, including red, blue, aqua, black and fawn.
Why New Belts Matter
Front lap belts from the mid-sixties often have faded straps and stiff adjusters after more than half a century. Replacing them restores comfort and a clean appearance.
Keeping Them Like New
Lift the cover all the way before removing the tongue. Use a lightly damp cloth for cleaning and avoid harsh solvents, which can weaken webbing fibers.
About the 1965-1968 Impala
Chevrolet sold more than a million Impalas in 1965, a record for a single nameplate. The 1966 refresh brought a new grille and taillights, the 1967 body gained a curvier roof on the hardtop coupe, and 1968 added side marker lights and other updates.
Pre-Install Checklist
Slide the bench seat to reach the floor anchors on each side. Remove old belts and hardware, chase the threads, and check the metal underneath for corrosion.
Good to Know
A push button version is also listed.
The lift latch buckle remains a favorite among owners who want their mid-sixties Impala to look as it did when new.
Chrome buckles suit cars with lots of bright interior trim, while black wrinkle complements darker cabins.
Order the front and rear belts at the same time to keep color and buckle style consistent.
Mid-sixties Impalas have a long, flat bench, and two outboard belts plus one in the middle let three people ride up front.
The lift latch design is easy to use: lift the hinged flap and the tongue slides free.
Super Sport cars with bucket seats use other listings, so check whether your car has a bench before ordering.
Show cars often keep the chrome finish, while cars with black interiors look sharp with black wrinkle.
If the car still has its original belts, check the date tags sewn into the webbing; many mid-sixties straps are well past their service life.
