I have seen aftermarket add on seat belt retractors from the 50's and 60's.

I have not seen a Ford branded one, but it probable that they did sell them. I remember as a kid that non retractable seatbelt often hung out of car doors and dragged along the road when they were not used.

I purchased a set in the late 50's as an after market unit. They worked ok, but not sure if I would do that again.
