I am trying o post a picture with this thread. Hopefully it will work this time:
My friend is restoring a 30 cabriolet Briggs body number off cowl is 161-20193. Serial number A36620xx. Holes are in the cowl on both sides as pictured. Appear to be some type of vent. Was this possibly factory? It is doubtful because heat from the hood louvers would flow right in. The holes are very neatly cut. Anybody ever seen anything like this?

Did not the very early A have a vent on the side of the cowl on the driver's side for a short time, something like on a late 50's Studebaker?
The one in the picture looks like a modification though.

Those are something someone added. Check out the book Those Wonderful Unauthorized Accessories I believe there are some ads for items like this.

In the early Volkswagen's they call them crotch coolers :)
