Here are a couple more, both taken during the Wisconsin tour last summer. First is a rainy morning riding in my friend's 53 Ranch Wagon, next is following a low mileage original 50 sedan (edit, very nice low mileage 49 sedan, see below).

My favourite through the windshield view in the 52 Merc. Blooming canola in the summer of 2018.

38 Coupe,
That's my car in post #24 and #26. Ah, it is a 1949 not a 1950. It is also in post #15. That picture was taken probably on the same day as yours in the 1953 Ranch Wagon.

Thanks for this great idea. Have always liked these kinds of photos.
Here's another one. That's me and my Mom on tour in the 1949 back in 2013. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

And thanks for coming all the way up from Texas to participate in the 2022 Wisconsin Transportation National Driving Tour.

I knew it was a 49 and I got it wrong! Corrected above. Thanks again for doing that tour, we had a lot of fun. You successfully applied enough guilt for us into considering hosting one in south Texas.

Took this one because of the wispy clouds...odd for this area. I like the way the disappearing road matches the hood's angle.
