Ha, hence the ? , have trouble telling the 2 & 3 apart. A guy at school had a TR-3A, with the full width grille. ( his Dad had a Jag collection).
Fun zipping around the local streets in the Trumpy.
Another mates older brother had a Mazda R100. Scared the crap outa me. He later got a TR-6, beautiful!

Honestly, my favorite mode of transportation is the Iron Horse.
I really don't like driving.

Heading off to frosty Canberra in an hour or so. Wife & I taking the youngest down to settle her in to her on-campus accomodation at Uni.
Would be on the road now but for some last minute bureaucracy to sort.

On the left, Union Pacific M10000, IIRC their first "Streamliner" tho I've never found it to be too very attractive personally. On the left the original Pioneer Zephyr, the carbody built of shotwelded stainless steel by Budd and the engine by EMC (later EMD, part of GM - there ya go Larry!) which made the first non stop run between Chicago and Denver (pretty sure the pic is at Denver Union Station) The UP remorselessly scrapped the M10000 shortly after WWII, happily the beautiful little Zephyr soldiered on for many years and is now persevered in the Chicago Museum of History and Industry, for many years it was right next to the U-505, a captured WWII German U-Boat.
So weird. When I tried a 4 string neck on the blue 5 string body, there was a noticeable gap in the neck pocket.
A nod to The Birthday Party/Nick Cave??
So are you saying that my measurements line up with your four string's neck pocket?
I measured both of my NR's and it looks like 2 7/16" at the end of the fretboard and more like 2 5/16" at the top of the neck pocket. Guess they are a little different after all.

Raymond Loewy designed so many things............The PRR T1 steam engine above, the paint scheme for Air Force One, and the Studebaker Avanti to name a few.
