Default Re: KPH speedo's

thought I should sneak in here, 1978 was the first year for metric speedometers in Canada. Before that time we built CKD (Complet Knock Down ) cars that were sent to Europe, South Africa , South America and Australia. These would of had metric speedometers from the factory. Domestic Canadian cars were labelled Drive 1, cars built in Canada for shipping to the U.S. were Drive 5, export overseas were usually Drive 3. Drive 3 cars would have a metric speedometer. Hope this helps, your friend in the archives.
