Why does the temperature gauge show higher reading in older cars?

Engines back then where made of pure steal that could handle higher heat without problems not like todays modern aluminum engine plus it has to do with better designs and more effective cooling devices example better more effective antifreeze/coolant, more effective water pumps new designed radiators the list can go on and on

What does the temperature gauge on a car do?
Most vehicles use a temperature sensor and gauge that monitor the engine's coolant temperature. The gauge can either reflect the actual engine temperature (with a needle or a digital reading), or it could display a generalized temperature that informs the operator when the engine is at operating temperature or is dangerously hot. Many older vehicles (made before 1980) also used an engine block temperature sensor. The block sensor was usually impeded in the block and connected a warning light that illuminated when temperatures exceeded a certain amount. Most passenger vehicles did not use a gauge with this type of sensor. Some vehicles, especially those used for commercial and industrial purposes, use an oil temperature sensor. It works very much the same as a coolant sensor and can be placed in the engine, transmission, or both depending on the need. It would be more common for a warning light to be connected to this type of sensor, but there are aftermarket gauges that reflect accurate oil temperature readings.
What demographic is more likely to need reading glasses?
Older people are way more likely to use reading glasses. As a person ages, everything in their body starts getting older. This includes eyesight. Older people just need a little more magnification when reading.
Why do you put thermometers on body for 1 minute?
Older thermometers took about a minute for the body temperature to warm the mercury in the glass bulb so that it reached body temperature and a reading could be taken. Modern thermometers are much faster and do not need to be kept for a minute.

Is it normal for your 2002 Chrysler sebring v6 to warm up in 20 mins?
Your car has a thermostat that limits the coolant from circulating until the motor is warm, the car should run under water's boiling temperature, depending on a set temperature according to the rating of the thermostat. in layman's terms, your temperature gauge should run from middle to 3/4 when operating. If the temperature gauge doesn't ever reach the red marker on the gauge you should have nothing to worry about.All cars must reach a certain temperature to burn fuel efficiently. A cold engine does not properly burn fuel. I owned an older Sebring which would take 5-10 minutes to warm up on a 20F day.

How car revo meter works?
In newer cars with electronics the engine has a sensor which pulses every revolution. The computer measures the time between the pulses and outputs a signal to the gauge in the dash. The larger the signal, the higher up the gauge goes. In older cars the tachometer receives a similar signal, but from part of the ignition coil.
