I like Mr. Rettig's work, but I suggest this two-toning is more mid-50's. Interesting.

David, GM tutones were seen many years before the fifties.
According to a known Buick historian 25% of the 49 Buick hardtops were dealer done in different two tone combinations before they were sold new. Not to mention the aftermarket.My Dad was one of the dealers but he is not here to confirm.

I agree. I have never seen a 2 tone 49 Buick offered in anything other than the roof painted.
