Could the nozzle have a center tab for a screw like this modern one?

Thanks for the thought but a tab like that is not present. I looked for any place where a screw might have entered the duct but they are just oval shaped holes about 7 inches long x 3/4 wide with straight smooth sides. They mount to the bottom of windshield structure with a screw on each end & the screw in the finish molding points directly down into space in the center of opening.
I was thinking there might have been some sort of narrow clip spanning across the duct somehow but don't see any obvious way it would have been secured.

Howard, I feel honored to finally, to maybe help you for a change. I say maybe because what I see in one my one Packard it looks like the screws go into the middle of the defrost vent went into the molding. Hopefully later I can get to the other one and check it out also. But until then here are a few pictures.

Wes, Thanks! Your photos did the trick and I found the holes. Windshield rubber had dropped down a tad and I didn't get my head low enough to see up under the edge. Now to find long chrome screws for those two spots without having to buy a box of 100.

Hi Howard, a couple more pictures, one of the screw and the other with the screw in-place to be screwed in.
True Value has a collection of screws in the gray (or some color, different colors different kinds of screws) trays that you can buy separate would be a good place to look. Wes
