I never noticed the seat belt retractor in the seat, before. Must be some heavy duty seats!
It would have been much easier to put the retractors in the roof panel!

If the retractor is attached to the seat base, I suppose it might hold the driver.
In this case, I think it is purely for asthetic. No door pillar or anything hanging from the roof to spoil the look when all the doors are open.
BTW, is ASC a German company?

four-doors
I believe that Heinz Prechter (spelling?) former owner of American Sunroof Corp. (ASC) used to own one of these (same color as pics). I believe that he duplicated the one that was built for Prof. Porsche. I used to see it occassionally at local automotive events in the Detroit area.
