Safety First!
Posted on June 8, 2008 by Stuart Kerty
The year was 1964 ½ (check your calendar!). At the New York World’s Fair, Ford introduced the Mustang, the first pony car, the sports car that will change automotive history. Fast, affordable, and so aggressively gorgeous that no American car has ever been able to compete since. The car was so hot, it sold 22,000 on its first day!Â
In 1964, speed and sex appeal were standard, but safety was an option. The front seat belts were no match for the horsepower and if you wanted rear seatbelts in your Mustang, you had to special order them.  Anyone who drove a car back then remembers, these gleaming metal torture devices that used to sear your skin as you buckled up on sunny summer days. If you left the top down, you couldn’t touch the burning metal until well after dark!
Today, things are different. StangWear wants to make sure your wardrobe is hot, but in an oh-so-cool way, with authentic Mustang seatbelt buckles.Â
Each StangWear buckle features the legendary pony, racing hard with its mane and tail flying in the wind. The mustang is backed in traditional red, white, and blue to make sure everyone understands that this is a true American original. Your buckles come with a choice of webbing belts in black or with red or gray flames (even cooler!)
You may not be able to afford an original Mustang today, but you could be hearing the classic click the seatbelt buckle with just a click of your mouse.
