Customers find the die-cast vehicle to be well-priced and of excellent quality. They appreciate its retro design, with one customer describing it as a cool Ghostbuster mobile.

 

Ecto 1 was a run-down, busted, old Cadillac ambulance that the original crew turned into the ectomobile. When you are carrying around proton packs to ghost emergencies, a hearse design is perfect. The Ecto-1 was designed by Stephen Dane who also designed the many iconic gadgets including the Ghostbusters’ signature proton pack, the ghost trap, the P.K.E. meter, and more. So much of what makes Ghostbusters iconic is because of this designer.

 

They advertise their services with a “no ghosts allowed” logo that Holtz used based on a graffiti artist’s defacement, and the name pundits have labeled them—”Ghostbusters”. Patty joins the team, providing expertise of New York City, personal protective equipment, and a repurposed hearse from her mortician uncle Bill Jenkins, named “Ecto-1”. This car that Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis rode into battle against their ghostly enemies remains an iconic image ingrained in the American pop culture.

 

Ray later used it during the battle against Tiamat. However, it was hit by Tiamat’s pyrokinetic blast and crashed into a pond. Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman piloted the Ecto-2 during a botched Thanksgiving Day parade in order to help lure Murray the Mantis into a final confrontation with the Ghostbusters. Notably, Ray, Winston, and Peter rode the Ecto-2 to trap the Haunted Blimp. Ray and Peter stood on each side of the wing and fired while Winston piloted Ecto-2.

 

The converted vintage Cadillac hearse is prominently displayed in the first trailer that dropped on Thursday. No matter how many times you call, the Ghostbusters are not going to get there without an Ectomobile. The Cadillac Miller-Meteor is a large and unwieldy vehicle so it wasn’t capable of taking off at such a speed. As a result, the footage was sped up to make the Ecto-1 appear much faster than it WAS. This is something that would be improved upon in both sequels.

 

The Cadillac was fitted with a compartment to carry the RTV, and a retractable ramp was built into the floor to assist in its deployment. When his colleagues refused to believe his warnings of Gozer’s potential return, Egon Spengler stole all of the team’s equipment, including Ecto-1, and relocated to a farmhouse in Summerville, Oklahoma. The repaired Ectomobile is named on-screen with the license plate shown reading “Ecto-1”. The word Ectomobile was only used in the song “Cleaning Up The Town” from the film’s soundtrack. The filmmakers planned to have the Ecto-1 painted black, but the color of the vehicle was changed to white when it was decided a black car would be too difficult to see during night scenes.

However, during the filming of the second Ghostbusters movie in 1989, the original Ecto-1 died, and the crew swiftly made over the second car which became the Ecto-1A. I think this new movie is going to have a really hard time hitting the original’s “iconic” status, but it still looks like a lot of fun. I’m sure we’ll see plenty more between now and the July release.

 

Vehicle Make

 

As for the ladies, they don’t just have to drive a big ass Cadillac around the busy city, but also carry some rather heavy backpacks to work. Some small issues that bugged me are the gap in the windows between the front and back, the ‘messy’ inside of the front wheels, and the fact that it’s hard to open just one door. Most of these other issues are small nit-picks that could be solved relatively easily, and the greatness of the set overall really fades these nit-picks into insignificance.

 

Several customers note that the vehicle is smaller than expected. We didn’t see any ghosts, but we definitely turned heads as we cruised around East London. Roadshow and Carfection’s Drew Stearne drove a replica of the new Ecto-1.
