Basement vents are pretty popular in the southeastern states (Virginia, Georgia, Carolinas).
It's a manual choke cable, so it has a Z bend at one side, and (on a carb) it gets mounted to a hole in the choke cam, which to me, says it was mounted using some space age material in a futuristic method... or.. maybe he just left a raised tab on the vent plate to hook the Z-bend to?

Just a guess.
