What are those 2 cylinders ahead of the grill, They look to be some kind of air ride or hydraulic ride adjusters they're connected to the springs but look way to big to be shocks only.

Dampers, or shocks, many early Jitney Buses had those.

They are shocks. They were popular on large cars, like this pierce arrow.

Here is one for swi66. I bought this 1963 Corvair in 1973 for 10 bucks. It was a 500 or a 700, had a bench seat and rubber floor mats. It was really solid. My brother bought a rusty Monza for the engine for his dune buggy so I put the interior in this car.
