know that the version of 71 does not bring rear seat belts.

But if I want to walk with my 19 month old daughter, have to install them in order to fix the security Chair.

Perhaps you could fasten it to the hat shelf. You would need to reforcer it with a plate under the shelf. This has been discused previously on this forum. It would look much better than on the C pillar.

Thats not from a 71 broachure!

Thats an interior from a most likely a 1967 but maybe a 68 but i think the blue vinyl was a one year only color

It's the print date on the brochure!

It's very odd. I was also thinking that looks to be an earlier car... weren't head-restraints standard by 1971?

Mine is from 1973 and doesn't have them either, no back head rests and no back seat belts but I'm considering to adapt some from a Volvo 340, the seat belts I mean...

Maybe Volvo was cheap and re-used photos from -67

But i have that exact photo in my "oldest" 140-series broachure
that is printed in august 1966 (date on cover RK 2376. 8. 66 100.000)

And if you look closely on that picture you can date it to model-year 1967
too by looking at the window crank,wich is a one year only design!
from 1968 the window crank has a "flatter" design with a bigger knob.

And the "tuc´n roll" in the vinyl-seats should be horizontal in 1971-1974
not diagonal like in the picture,that was 1967-1968 only in atleast Europe and US

About headrest they became standard in 1969 for the US-market and
1970 in the European-market(atleast in Sweden) prior to that they were an accesory

That said i only have brochures from Europe,USA and Canada,
no spanish or South-American so im not calling you a liar
but i do think its highly unlikely that Volvo would have a special
interior for that market when they already have a vinyl-interior in production.

Gulp! Sorry folks, I made a mistake. I had the two brochures side by side and mixed up the print dates. The pic is from brochure. RK 2375. 11. 66. 250,000 (USA). Mia culpa.
