Those are for the fresh air intake for the heater.

They stopped putting the louvers and vent on the driver's side the year they started using vent windows, 1951. Perhaps GM thought that the driver's side vent was no longer needed (and/or figured on saving $$$)? I think that vent would have been much appreciated in all years.

installed a heater from a toyota 4runner (rear heater) and won't be needing the vent so it's blocked off from the inside now.
thanks
