Phillips Head Screws

[27donb]

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?

No phillips head screws at all.   First patent was in 1936, and Cadillac used them first in 1937.     Hugh

Wow, is that a model 44 roadster in your photo, 27donb?

It's actually a 1927 model 54CC Convertible Coupe.
