In my own subjective reasoning, it is that they were much better cars in their design and construction and overall reliability. Someone more knowledgeable than me may have some better information, but I will stick to my reasoning for now.

Occasionally I will see a 28 Chev. 29's seem the most numerous in my experience, but there don't seem to be a lot of them out there.
29 Chevies were known as "Axle breakers" We had one in our family and it was disliked because of this.
