That Speedo is metric. 200 km/h = 122 mph. Your math is backwards, Jerry.
1.61 km = 1 statute mile.
.61 statute mile = 1 km
1.61 km = 1 statute mile.
.61 statute mile = 1 km
OUI Patrick. I knew I waz on the rite track, but ever since I voted for Barry Goldwater back in '68 it'z been all down hill. At least I now know why I keep gettin' lost in Montreal, SHISH. THANKZ MAN, Jer

Sorry, but I don't think metric was a big issue back in 1960. I'd have to have more proof. Just sayin'
'UM, Kenny-Sammie? How 'bout Chrysler Australia? Export carz to the U.K. and ah few other countries on the other side of the pond and centreal and South America They've been Metric FO-EVAH. I personally owned an NOS 1660 300F electricluminesent astrodome that went to 200K ah few yearz back that now residez in Sweden

I could be a smart *** and say Chrysler was good but there were no 300F's in 1660 - but I know what you mean Jer so I won't 
I've seen pic's of the '60's astrodomes with the 200km/h speedo's...

BETTER EVERY DAY, GOOD THING SPEEDING ISN'T A TOP PRIORITY WITH THE WILMINGTON P.D. LOL, THANKZ FOR ASKIN'
Happen to have a picture of that Speedo Jer?
Sorry but no Bob. I bought it from a very old Retired Chrysler Employee back in the early '80s at a swap meet at the tec center when Detroit WPC used to have their swap showz at the Tec Center just east of Middlebelt in Livonia. I had the feeling at the time that it waz "lunch box stuff" back in '59+'60. I sold it to ah guy I knew in Detroit that collected wall art kinda stuff. It wound up on Eval-Bay ah few yearz later and I'm reasonably sure in went to Sweden, Jer

Cars built for export that were using the metric then (nearly all of Europe, Japan, and Africa) had metric speedos. Australia, NZ, Canada and the remainder of the British Empire were using miles well into the '70s.
Thankz for clearing that up
OUTSTANDING sixtyf. Even nicer when electrolumininesent iz fired up. (Spell check won't help on this word and my '60+'61 manual went BY-BY with the Long Roof) Glad to see theirz more then one on the planet. Never had the one I had plugged in, Jer
