Must be something like that? Had a bit of a look around the net and wonder if it was used to store the solvent for top ups?
Just found a similar one on ebay for sale

EDIT:
The decal says:
Washer Anti-Freeze
Windshield De-Icer
Gas Line De-Icer
Bug Remover
I guess that answers my original question

Washer fluid.
And I think I saw that Cyclone at the Frostproof Orange Blossom festival. It is the finest 65 I've ever seen.

Funny story about those bottles. I went to a local service station owners estate sale. This would be very early 80's. They were auctioning off his 65 fordor 289 three on the tree Fairlane he'd bought new. Toad was the station owners nickname. He also did auto detailing in our small town and all of the elite's if you will had their cars cleaned there. So this car was pampered. Anyway, they got ready to auction the car and the auctioneer stated that the engine was locked up because the couldn't turn it over with the fan belt. I bought the car for $25. Of course it wouldn't turn over, it was a manual transmission and it was in gear. Anyway one of those bottles were under the hood. That bottle and bracket stayed in my tool box from then until 2009 down here in Fl. I was putting the Cyclone back together and noticed 2 holes in the left side fender apron. I pulled the bottle and bracket out, sat the bracket down to the holes and yep, she's been hangin there ever since.
