'67 shoulder belts
My '67 has the anchor points for shoulder belts but did not come equipped with them. Considering that I'll be hitting the drag strip with mine, I'm gonna need them. Since most '67s didn't get them from the factory, I'm curious what others have done here. Are there aftermarket replacements that will bolt up to the factory anchor point? I'd be happy to buy complete replacements for the front belts if I could be sure they'll bolt up.

As I understand it, early '66 didn't have this anchor point, but late '66 did...and the vehicle's cowl tag would have had a punch-mark in the lower left corner to indicate the vehicle was so equipped. All '67s have this anchor point, though few were actually equipped with the shoulder belts. Shoulder belts were mandated on vehicles built after Jan. 1, 1968.
I've been researching this all evening, and have found several aftermarket companies with a "bolt-on" kit that supposedly use the factory anchor points...I'll be contacting them for more info.

shoulder belts
I bought new 67 deluxe belts for my car that were listed for a 67 Camaro. Any GM belts that have the two bolts to the roof will work in the 67 Cutlass. I was able to find the holes for shoulder belts due to the photo that "Oldsmobility" posted. The pad for the belts is just in front of the coat hook. My headliner is original and stretched very tight so I pressed on the headliner right in front of the coat hook and found the three holes. I inserted a scribe through the headliner to locate the hole exactly and then bolted the seatbelt through the holes. It worked out great.
