It got an updated Ghostbusters logo on the hood and driver's side door and yellow and black stripes on both sides of the vehicle. The ectodomain of all three receptors is made of nine leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), each 25 amino acids, flanked by two-cysteine containing domains (Fig. The car had more equipment on the roof and digital announcement boards on each side. The Ecto-1A had the look and the characteristics of the original but with just a few upgrades.

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. The first one became the Ecto-1, of the original Ghostbusters, but the second one was only used as a prop and just made a cameo appearance to show what the ghost-busting car was before Stantz fixed it. Because of his mechanical skills, he was able to fix the vehicle, which he bought for $4,800 (equivalent to about $12,029.47 in 2020).Īccording to movie lore, when the production company started designs for the Ecto-1, they bought two 1959 Cadillacs.

Stantz discovered the monstrous machine shortly after he mortgaged his mother's house to buy the Firehouse. But the Ecto doesn’t have the landau top traditionally found on hearses, clearly has ambulance lighting on the roof when it’s introduced as a beater early in. Yes, Miller-Meteor made both ambulances and hearses, and yes, the Ghostbusters deal with spooky dead things. The popular opinion states that either the Ecto-1 broke down in GB2, and that 1A was purchased as a rebranding replacement for the company in GB2, and Ecto-1 was put in. One of my biggest pet peeves is when Ecto-1/1A is referred to as a hearse. In the first film, scientist and Ghostbuster Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) pulled up to Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ in the Caddy and reported that the car just needed a little work, including “maybe new rings, also mufflers, a little wiring.” Now, a popular theory in the GB universe is that there was al least 2 GB cars, Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A (GB2).and Ecto-1B if you take in Ghostbusters: The Video Game into account.
