Heck they sure have some strange vehicles then, because this '59 Dodge is LHD. There was also a 60's GM Holden in NZ, normally RHD built in Australia with MPH speedo, that was assembled LHD with KPH in South Africa!

I'm surprised to hear of a '59 car from South Africa having a speedo in kph.

As Mike said, ZA changed to metric around 1970...all older Chrysler products here I've seen have had speedos in mph.

A friend of mine also has a '59 Custom Royal(RHD, ZA assembled) and it is in mph!
