    Never seen that before. Looks like just an overlay stuck on a regular gauge. Wonder what the small print says.

    Maybe Ford used that overlay when they ran out of KPH speedo's ...

    I'm going to look at the car maybe this weekend, it's a 4door with some weird stuff on it, stuff I've never seen before. It does look like an overlay...

    A friend of mines Mustang II used to have a speedo similar to that. He said that the car came out of Canada.

    When you go look at it, see what the DSO is.

    Seems like I remember someone posting a photo of one a while back. I do remember it being from Canada.

    My mom had a couple of cars when I was growing up that had both. Her old Cougar did, and so did her Granada. But living here in the Inland Northwest, I am sure that a lot of the Fords where imported from Canada.

    My first Maverick (a 1977 four door) had both but looked different from that.
