I think its 1938. The 37 has more bars in the grill.

Not only does the '38 have less grille bars than the '37 but the grille is also more vertical which makes the hood longer. I thought the left side side-mounted spare on the closest car looked odd - I think it possibly doesn't have a full size wheel in it as I can see in one of the other pics that the one on the other side looks alright. It is difficult to be certain but I suspect these cars are Roadmasters. I think there may be three of them?

The reason the sidemount looks different is because on the large series Buicks (Roadmaster and Limited) the fenders are larger allowing the sidemount to sit lower than a Special or Century Sidemount. This is an easy way to narrow it down. That and with the middle picture the rearmost window shape is a Roadmaster not a Limited.

Also note the difference in the windshield between the two 38 Buicks another small difference. The Left car is a small series car either Century or Special
