Little does anybody except dad know, there is no 10mm wrench in there. That is remnants of all the sets Dad bought because they were cheap and he could take the 10mm wrench out to replace the ones he lost
 
OK, how about a 9/16" then?

If you don't get the humor from a joke or cartoon in seconds, it won't be funny after an explanation.

He's from Austria, hence the metric comment.

I have 3 cars made in North America (specifically the US), and all 3 are metric.

9/16 or 1/2 inch would be appropriate
 
Everything from the early 80' s was cursed with Metric and SAE , except Japanese cars and Bikes.
I remember.....this was my introduction to Torx fasteners, along with the metric/SAE mix. The headlight bulbs on our 1980 was held into the mount with three different size Torx screws....2.5mm, 3mm and 3.5mm...six total including the ones that fastened the frame to the bulb and the bulb into the adjuster assembly. This was before Torx was generally available, other than at a GM dealership. Had to order them individually from a local auto parts store....no sets. The 2.5 and 3.5 were not available, but had to order/buy them from my dealership.
That was also the period where you could sit on your front porch and watch the car rust.
