You are correct that a number of cars had or you could install seat
belts. My comment was that they were not an option on the Sprite's an
should have said a factory option. There were a number of dealers
that would put in third party belts an I saw some pretty scary
installations where they just put a bolt through the floor sheet metal
with a nut on the other side.
Like a lot of folks I was installing belts, from Pep Boys etc, since
the mid 1950's.
