Use the free transform on a selection. Don't include the car in that selection.

Seems to me that the car has a very slight slope of its own. That left
downward slant kinda balances out the left upward slant of the corn
stalks ... and so it looks just fine to me, as-is.

BTW, you can stretch the corn row level using the free transform tool
in a minute or two. Here's my try ...

Nice, but how did you avoid stretching the car as well? I've used free 
transform quite a bit, but it distorts  the entire image area.

I'm a bit torn here. Among my shots from the Mopar Nationals are some profiles 
sot on a road next to a cornfield. I'm locked into just a few shooting sites at 
this event due to the size of the crowd and limited access to other venues, so 
this cornfield and the parking lot next to it is my best choice. Unfortunately, 
the road and cornfield don't share the horizontal. I either render profiles 
with the road going downhill and the cornfield level or the rod level and the 
cornifield descending (the way  it actually is). Here's a shot rendered in that 
manner:

Do you find the horizontal mismatch distracting? Doesn't mayer much for the 
magazine because it will probably be stripped our if used large, but when 
making prints for car owners, it's a consideration.
