coupeman - The grommet is the original. This '47 is a Rouge Class Award car for running gear (and interior). Have never researched sources for this or other period correct grommets - perhaps someone else can weigh in here with advice/experience. Steve

Here's a pic of my '47's firewall which should be darned close to your '48 - looks to me like those holes are for the throttle control cable and the windshield wiper vacuum hose.

I think it's where either the hand throttle or choke cable went through the firewall. Here's a picture of my firewall showing a cable coming through that hole.

I have a fresh air heater system in my car and those pipes to the left in the photo coming out of the firewall are for that system, maybe the hole was unplug by the previous owner for some unknown application, thanks guys for the feedback.

Coupeman, let me clarify something. The heater pipe in my car comes thru the hole that is still blanked off in your picture, not the open one. There is another hole towards the passenger side for the other pipe.

I just looked at my '46 and one of my heater pipes comes thru where you are indicating. What I don't understand is that what looks like heater pipes of some sort are shown in your picture. What are they?
