Seatbelts first appeared in American automobiles in the early 1900s. With few other cars to collide with at the time, seatbelts were popular not for their role in crash protection but because they kept occupants inside their cars during bumpy rides. Seatbelts were later installed in airplanes to keep pilots from falling out during upside-down maneuvers, and added to race cars in the 1920s. In 1950, the first factory-installed seatbelts in the U.S. appeared in the 1950 Nash Statesman and Ambassador models. This was nearly 20 years after U.S. physicians had begun urging auto manufacturers to provide seatbelts in cars.

I think it was the 1955 Chrysler C-300 equipped with the Chrysler Firepower 331 hemi. Seat belts came as standard as did leather seats.
