The "AIR" location on the heater controls for the '51-'56 cars would indeed be for allowing fresh air from the outside into the car by way of the vents located on the bulkhead above the front foot wells. The left lever for driver side and the right one for passenger side. I would check first, though, in the engine area to make sure there are the flexible tubes (like dryer vent tubing) connecting the round, metal vent tubes together or your likely to get engine fumes inducted into the car while driving.
