This is a bass so a bit larger. I can get this case in the trunk and pedalboard in the frunk.
I can’t fit a standard, rectangular HSC in the trunk. And I downsized my pedalboard to this 12x24 so it would fit in the frunk. It just makes it.
Hope that helps at some level.

From a luthier standpoint, I would be hesitant about putting a guitar in the trunk
I've seen posts on here and on Facebook claiming that temperatures in the trunk get upwards of 130° and heard some say they don't get above 98. I put a backpack in the trunk after 4 hours of driving when I took it out the backpack and it's contents were hot. Not sizzle water scalding hot but more than warm.
I'm not saying putting a bolt on strat in the trunk for a 25 minute drive is going to warp the neck, but repeatedly doing it might lead to breaking down some of the adhesives used on a lot of acoustics, mostly around the bridge. I do know that excessive temperature swings are not good. If you had a small 100 watt amp to put in the back I wouldn't think that being a problem but I second the soft case passenger seat idea

Oh believe me, that’s more than crossed my mind. That’s why I use this: hiscoxcases
Has great thermal insulation properties.
However, if it was a long drive, without a doubt I’d through it in the passenger seat.
