Air Ventilation Filters
They were 2 to a box and fit in where the rubber ring is on your inner fender panel air duct in the engine compartment.
Any one who has a 1949-51 Ford should have these as they keep the bugs from being blown into the interior compartment when driving highway speeds.
I know since I also have original interior and use old bed sheets as cover the front seat when driving any distance. When it's time to remove the sheet covers, there is all sorts of dead little bugs in the crease of the front seat.
To see what I mean, open your hood and look down on either the left or right side of the the radiator support cross member. All that is there is hardware cloth, with openings big enough to let bee, flies, and even small grasshoppers through.
These air filters used to be everywhere at swap meets years ago.
