From: Ken MacKinnon (Ken)  Sun Feb 11 20:08:31 2007 Harvey Earl designed the closed models to be much less bulbous. The engineering department redesigned the models for ease in tooling. The result was the six inch bulge at the beltline. It was not met with the public's greatest acceptance as aesthetic, thus was born the pregnant Buick.   Gallery: www.1929buick.com Photos  Album: 1929 Buick Images - Current and Period  Album: Model 29-26s  Powered by Gallery v1.5.7 RSS RSS www.1929buick.com Photo Updates
