Actually, according to wp, Nash Motors were the first to put seatbelts in cars, while Saab was the first company to have seat belts as standard, although Ford motors was one of the early adopters, and did a fair bit of marketing around seat belts. That said, I think most of the credit really should go to Nils Bohlin, who invented seat belts to begin with.
