Ford Prefect
Ford Prefect is a character from Douglas Adams's *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*—an alien researcher stranded on Earth who chose his pseudonym thinking "Ford Prefect" would be inconspicuous, not realizing it was a car model rather than a common human name.
The Ford Prefect was also a British automobile manufactured from 1938 to 1961: My grandfather learned to drive in a Ford Prefect.
