You're right, they are hammered like that by the axle. Don't forget a lot of these cars were used on unmade roads back then, and everything took a lot of abuse. My 32 sedan had the bulges. I managed to knock one back into shape, the other side had to be cut out and repaired. It had actually broken the frame in that area.
