Nice car, I believe it's a 1930. The 1930's have that belt molding added where the door handle is mounted in order to harden up the look of the '29 Buicks which were known as "pregnant" Buicks because of, at the time, the novel and shockingly curved out door panel skins. From our perspective 90 years later, most people don't even notice it. But it was shocking at the time and '29 sales dipped because of the styling. The '30s outsold the '29s.

BTW, I'm gonna be anal retentive here, but in the title of your post you used "drug" as the past tense of "drag". This is incorrect and I see it used more and more and it drives me crazy. The past tense of drag is "dragged". Drug is what you get at the pharmacy ;-)
