27donb Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Should my 1924 Buick have ANY Phillips head screws? I've always thought all screw fasteners were slotted, but I really don't know when PHS were used on Buicks or other cars of the 1920's. For an authentic look, which is correct?

Hubert_25-25 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) No phillips head screws at all. First patent was in 1936, and Cadillac used them first in 1937. Hugh Edited March 3, 2016 by gr8success (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27donb Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Wow, is that a model 44 roadster in your photo, 27donb? It's actually a 1927 model 54CC Convertible Coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
