European Avantis: gauges in European vs. US metrics

[Stefan B.]

Hi,

by Avanti has been delivered to Europe right at the beginning in 1963, to Milano, Italy. So, althoug being an American car, it was never in use in the US. Currently it has the speedometer in kilometer per hours (KPH) but the temperature gauge is in degree Fahrenheit. Does anybody know if this has been like this back then or have there also been temperature gauges with degree Celsius? Just curious as the mix of European and US metrics in my car is interesting and unusual.
