The kids are shown ripping the Ghostbusting whip through k.i.t.t. knight rider their now ghost-infested town. Barn finds are the most exciting thing within the vintage car world. Finding an abandoned Ferrari or some such would be pretty damn exciting. If you compare that to opening an old farm building to find the Ecto 1 as a barn find, the Ferrari might as well be day-old bread. After repairs were completed, the vehicle had quite a unique character. It became a well-recognized symbol for the Ghostbusters franchise.

 

Instead of the famous white with red accents, it was going to be all black with purple lights and accents. However, since so many scenes with Ecto-1 were shot at night, the final product was given the white and red color scheme that the car is so famous for. The Ecto-1 is an iconic vehicle, almost as iconic as Batman’s famous Batmobile. But what many fans may not know is that Ecto-1 was going to have a similar color scheme to the Batmobile. According to The Drive , Dan Aykroyd had described Ecto-1 as a darker, more sinister-looking vehicle. As a result, the Cadillac Miller-Meteor was made and released in 1959.

 

After the Ghostbusters identified Rowan North and The Mercado Hotel, they departed from Zhu’s garage unit in Ecto-1. Abby, seated in the front passenger, asked everyone who was in the mood to save New York City. Ecto-1 drove on 7th Avenue heading south, passing Cafe Metro on West 54th Street.

Holtzmann parked Ecto-1 in front of the Mercado Hotel’s entrance. Jennifer Lynch staged a fake arrest to maintain the facade there was no ghosts and had Ecto-1 towed. Abby, Holtzmann, and Patty departed from Zhu’s garage unit for the Mercado.

He purchased the vehicle for $4,800 and performed the extensive repairs needed to bring it up to a condition that would suit their needs. It was painted white with red trim, marked with the company logo on the sides and rear, and fitted with an array of equipment on the roof, and became a well-recognized symbol for the Ghostbusters franchise. The interior was modified to allow easy access to the team’s equipment (Proton Packs, ghost traps, etc.) via the rear door. After the necessary reconstruction, it is used to carry the Ghostbusters and their ghost-capturing equipment through New York City. Its features include a special pull-out rack utilizing the old ambulance’s gurney in the rear containing the staff’s proton packs. There are also various gadgets mounted on the top, whose functions are never revealed in the movies.

Patty insisted she was in a hurry and only checked to see if the car had gas. Holtzmann thought of seven good uses of a cadaver right off the bat. Patty stated they had to turn in the body if there was one in there. The set recreates key locations from the 1984 film, with a fold-out city street diorama featuring 55 Central Park West, the neighboring church, and the Ghostbusters’ firehouse HQ. Stay Puft features a new battle-damaged, charred paint deco, an upgrade from Jada’s 2016 figure, while the Nano Ecto-1 includes a sculpted roof rack, lightbars, and no-ghost logos on both side doors and the rear. The 2016 Ghostbusters movie was a reboot rather than a sequel, so the story started from scratch with an entirely new all-female cast and a modern-day setting.
