Front shoulder belts started making their appearance in the early 1970s. December 1989, they were mandated in the backseat on the outboard (behind passenger and driver seats) except for convertibles, vans, light trucks, etc...they became mandated in September 1991. Car manufacturers have seen that having a 3pt seatbelt is MUCH safer than a lap belt only so MOST cars have eliminated lap belt only. HTH!

They started appearing in the mid '80s. I've seen cars from '81 without them and '88 with them, but I'm not sure which year they became required.
