<VV> Why "crossed" lap belts?

[J R Read]

The '66 Owner's Guide - on page 19 - says...  "With bucket seats, the inner 
belt half is anchored behind the opposite seat."

I'm sure the '65 guide says the same thing - but the '66 one was closer at 
hand at the moment.

I don't have an owner guide for models prior to '65.
