Uhhh yeah. Actually, it would have been most unusual to have seen the Cleavers wearing seat belts. (Lap or shoulder harness). I don't think any cars in the 1950s had safety belts. It wasn't until the 1960s that auto manufacturers were required to equip cars with seat belts.
When was the word "beaver" used for a women's part anyway? Was it after the tv series?
Way before TV. From the Online Etymological Dictionary:
Gynecological sense ("female genitals, especially with a display of pubic hair") is 1927 British slang, transferred from earlier meaning "a bearded man" (1910), from the appearance of split beaver pelts.
