Default Why the reverse speedo was used? Anybody know the history or reason?
I was at a car show last weekend and was asked by a guy "why the reverse speedo" and I was dumbfounded for an answer. He just thought that was the coolest thing. Some reasons come to mind like are they that way in all right hand drive cars? Or just AC Cobras? A box of misc. gauges and that is just what was used? Anybody know for sure?

Thanks,
John
