Possibly that filler cap is for fuel. Maybe, the radiator was against the grill at the back. Seems strange... did a fan blow air into the wake?

Also, in this photo there is an air scoop ahead of the rear wheel well, but no fuel door.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
