    Metric Speedo for a 85 GM?

    I'm looking for a metric speedo for my 1985 colony park. Does it exist?

    Canadian models?
    I live in Holland and I'm constantly calculating my speed. There is a metric indication but it can't be seen at night.
    Thanks

          wow. that is weird. If the car is still there, could you get pics? I'd be curious what sort of changes the factory made if it is a euro-market car.

            glad you found one without having to ship it across the pond.

            and yeah... pictures are always welcome of everything car related

                Here is a link to the car

                I haven't seen the car, he sent the speedo to me.

                The actual speedo:


                US Fords and Mercury are not sold here. I know of 2 dealerships who on special request sell them (Ford Amsterdam and Hessing ) I have owned a 1980 Fairmont Wagon which was delivered by Ford Amsterdam and I own a 2000 Windstar which was delivered by Hessing. But 99 out of 100 US Fords are imported by small companies or private owners.
                The same for almost all US build cars. There are a lot of US car lovers and a lot of US car meetings and clubs. But daily driven US cars are rare. People stare at me contstantly.
