Seat belts in 1965 were a mere formality, if found at all.

We had a 1965 Chevy station wagon. We didn’t think it had seat belts, but they had just fallen between the seat cushion and seat back. No one cared.

I read recnetly that seatbelts were a low-cost option on some brand of 1960 American car. Only 5% of their customers ordered them. I think our ‘65 Bonneville had them. (Didn’t have auto-rollers or shoulder-belts.)
