Where to get authentic trim screws for 62 cadillac

[62eldofan]

I am looking for a supplier of authentic fasteners for 1962 cadillac. Thanks for your suggestions

It depends on what they look like.  I replaced almost all the screws on my '57 with stainless.  Totally Stainless had a nice assortment.  Some, like the wheel opening molding screws have a rounded Phillips head and were called Jackson screws.  Over the years, they used different styles.  As the years went on, Cadillac became fanatic at hiding the fasteners in different ways.

Your best bet is to either go to a big show like Hershey, Carlisle or Iola and take samples.  There are actually some fasteners that were exclusive to Cadillac and only for one or two years.  And most of those were chrome plated...

Bolts like "TR" and WB1C" were used on Corvettes and some other Chevies, but different sizes are very hard to come by.

Even the early '90's Broughams have odd fasteners that are no longer available, even from GM.  Sometimes, they used the same screws in hidden places inside the car, such as inner door panels.

There is a CLC member who has completed an incredible restoration of a '62 Sedan deVille.
