Those are springs that were known as "curb-feelers." There was an audible sound when they brushed up against a curb so a driver knew when he was close to the curb. Some cars from the vintage pictured, especially police cars, had rubber "static strips" that were attached to the frame and scraped/dragged along the ground when the car was moving. It was supposed to cut down on static radio interference.
