My '63 has shoulder mounts (and indeed original looking shoulder belts) in the front, as well as lap belt mounts in the rear (really just a set of 4 unused welded nuts along the gap between the rear seat back and bottom. I didn't find the rear shoulder belt mount on mine, despite a pretty good search for them (since I had found them hidden behind the headliner before on a '63 122 sedan I once owned). Instead of using the column mount I instead mounted the belts in a 'reversed' fashion - with the buckles to the outside of the car (on the outer lap belt mount), the end in the middle lap belt mount, and the inertial reel (from a 240 sedan) mounted in the middle of the parcel shelf, about 6 inches apart. It seems to work quite well there - the belt comes right over the inside shoulder and work well for me (6ft) and my kids (7 and 9 years old).
