The 1929 Buick was the Silver Anniversary Buick and according to the Standard Catalog of American Cars was the first completely styled by Harley Earl's newly formed General Motors Art & Color Department. The unique design of the rear window is an example of Harley Earl's influence. Apparently, GM took color selection very seriously. A newspaper article from 1929 stated that, "When a selection is made it is the result of a careful research that embraces the fashion salons of Europe."
