Ryan, I’m older than you, born and always lived around Toronto. I understand “metric” just fine, and do the math in my head, but
RESENT the hell out of it, I remember our lame-ass government telling us we HAD to change
because USA was changing, So I Guess the Laughs on us sheep-like Canadians. Rick Haynes Dutkiewicz. From:

Of Ryan Hill ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Rich, it was a long process switching to metric here in Canada, there was
and still is a lot of push back on the idea. It was about 1977 that road signs
were changed from mph to kph and cars were then required to have speedos that
complied. I was 6 years old and remember my Dad placing these stupid
little clear decals on the face of the speedometers on our ‘65 300 Sport and a
‘60 Desoto Adventurer in order to pass annual inspections. The 65 and later 300’s in Canada are a little different, my
65 had different interior panels, different drip rail trim, and of course a red
engine instead of turquoise. I presume earlier cars were also slightly
different. I don’t believe they built letter cars in the Canadian plant at all,
they were all imported from US. Ryan Hill In Vancouver, B.C. , Canada Sent from my iPhone
