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.

I sent one to Switzerland a few years ago, the only metric gauge was the speedometer. oil was still PSI, and temp was Fahrenheit.

I have a metric gauge that I'm going to fit in my Avanti. I'm assuming that I put in the appropriate speedo gear to suit the diff ratio and it should work accurately or am I missing something ?
