2 questions left

No.
1 question left!
I’m going to throw out a guess but spoiler it so somebody else can ask the 20th question:
'55 Ford Thunderbird
No, but you’re definitely in the ballpark.
Right company, right decade. Also, I wasn’t thinking of a specific model name or year – one word (if it’s the right word!) would be sufficient as a correct answer.
Edsel?
I was going to ask if it was a classic 1950s Ford. I saw the spoilers.
Someone wanna start a new one?
Correct!
Would you like to pose the next challenge?
I’ll start a new one if no one else has already.

I found a new wave stumper, too… some of the deeper tracks of an album (they don’t have the whole album available for listen).
