Sometimes Thor seems very stressed in the car, and sometimes not. I THINK it's basically if he's familiar with the route we're taking. Are you driving to the same place, or a different place every time? It's possible he had a bad experience after a car ride, and now fears he'll have the same experience again (maybe after getting driven to the vet?).
This is tangential, but no matter how calm Thor is on the drive, he completely loses it when we park. Every. Single. Time. He shrieks and wails and shakes like a leaf until I take him out. He goes to doggy daycare, and he is one of the last stops on the way home. The staff says he wigs out every time they stop the van. When I go out to get him, I can hear him from half a block away. Gee, my dog is crazy!
