Nope. Because my 1960 TR3A came without any belts, and we wanted to drive
it right away with the kids, I called up the NJ DOT. I was directed to the
officer who handles safety for the entire state. He strongly recommended
belts and was glad I was going to put them in, but very clearly stated that
seat belt laws were NOT retroactive and that pre-seatbelt year cars were
protected (or not protected, ;-) ) from this requirement. This kids did not
require car seats either, as there were no seat belts to attach to.
I have added seat belts and am curently working on fabricating shoulder
harnesses for the kids in the occasional seat.
