There's a hole under my hood - - - -

Hi Everyone - after nearly 5 years of ownership of my 1948 Packard 22nd Series I have just realised that I have a rather large hole under the hood of my car. This hole is behind the battery location so looking upwards with the front right hand wheel removed I can see the side of the battery - the hole is about 12" long and about 6" high so if I ever take her out for a run in the rain water and any dirt therein will enter the engine compartment. There are some small holes on the edge of the hole possibly for self-tapping screws to secure a small panel to cover the hole.

The latter is a simple job, my question is what was this hole for ?

Best regards from the UK
