 Humorous and I have had more than one ford also.

You are speaking of an IBM PC Type not model number which by the way was
followed with a model number for its full name.
It used the 360 in its name due to the similarity in architecture to the
system but certainly did not have the same model number.
The IBM System 360 was a system type which also had a model numbers.
