Wayne:

As you so correctly indicated, Ultra (a term denoting the very best) is 
reserved solely for the beautiful motor homes built by the Ultra company in 
the 1960s.

Some of our unwashed brethren, with limited vocabularies, couldn't remember 
the appropriate term to define their cars so they simply misappropriated 
our name and dragged it through the grease and scattered car parts of their 
various garages, car ports, lean-to's, and other car repair (hit it with a 
big hammer) facilities.

The term that they so desperately strived for, but couldn't recall is: 
Acme.  If you ever saw a Road Runner cartoon you cannot fail but to 
understand how closely their attempts at Frankensteinian parts assembly 
resembles the output of the "Acme" name-brand.
