From The Edsel Timeline:

October 19, 1955: After having problems determining a suitable name for the E-car, renowned poet Marianne Moore was approached to submit inspirational names.

November 7, 1955: Marianne Moore began to offer her list of names, which included such notables as "Resilient Bullet", "Ford Silver Sword", "Mongoose Civique", "Varsity Stroke", "Pastelogram" and "Andante con Moto".

December 8, 1955: Miss Moore submitted her last candidate: "Utopian Turtletop".

This is terribly wrong.

I'm Quickbeam with the masterplan
I'm Bombadil with the mic in my hand
We're Lords of the Rhymes from a far off land
And We'll Rock this joint with our hobbit band

Yay! That was on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me the last time I heard it. The Edsel thing. Wait Wait is happy.
