Beautiful panel that usually is reserved for boats but clearly this was intended for a car. The seller (it was on eBay briefly before the auction was pulled) claimed the previous owner had pulled it out of a low mileage 1933 Packard hearse. This seems to fit the story as many specialty vehicles were sent out to coach builders with not much more then a rolling chassis and a front end. So adding a handsome aftermarket panel would be a perfect solution for a hand built hearse. It appears to have the crushed ice insert but unfortunately painted over with the drab brown.
