In the absence of any period documents I don't think there are any verifiable theories on this matter. They were building "budget" town cars before the depression so the economic theory goes out the window. I do remember a lot of Buick Limiteds that came out of New York City hotel livery service.

Any theory could be plausible including chauffeurs wanting smaller motors because part of their compensation included an expense account. So smaller motors would use less gas and they could pocket the difference. The rich are often weirdoes and so who knows how they might try to chisel the help?
