Just passed 500 69 Judge PHS's
Nothing new interesting about Judges but just did a bit of study on seat belt options and discovered something interesting (to me anyhow ;-)…
27% of all these PHS's had deluxe belts. What is interesting is only 9% of convertibles had deluxe belts but 30% of hardtops did. this is corrupted by the pattern judges that all had deluxe belts. But even if I remove all the pattern Judges you still have 20% of hardtops (regular GTO's and non pattern judges) versus only 9% of convertibles. This is quite surprising since convertibles typically had more options than hardtops. These numbers are the total of a few options. There are three possible deluxe belt choices... Deluxe belts with no shoulder belts (cvt only), deluxe belts with front shoulder belt or deluxe belts with both frt & rr shoulder (both offered on both hardtops and convertibles).
Another tidbit is of the 400 or so convertibles in the listing a total 27 had some form of shoulder belts. 3 had non deluxe shoulder belts (front only), 22 had deluxe front shoulder belts and 2 had front and rear deluxe shoulder belts. (you couldn't order non-deluxe front and rear shoulder belts on ragtops or hardtops).
