Here's another pic for you who say it's a series of gun shot holes, let's try to be a bit more optomistic from here on out. A little more history for those who are concerned with the "FILL and PAINT" suggestions, a more accurate time period would've been the early 1950's since the car has been parked indoors since then. An accessory WAS mounted here at one point 60+ years ago and would love to know more about what it could have been. The water heater was the most intelligent suggestion so far.

Temper temper- the holes are not big enough for water connections. They use to run model a's on diesel and other petroleum products after they started them on gasoline. I would not try to replace whatever item was there. This is a great forum and you should try to develop a sense of humor. Maybe the owner got a new electric drill and wanted to try it out. Electric drills did not show up on the market until the 50's.
