This is the Ecto-1, the personal transport vehicle of the Ghostbusters. Bought by Dr. Ray Stantz (played by Dan Aykroyd) for $4,800, the Ecto-1 was pretty worse for wear initially and required a plethora of repairs; in Stantz's own words, it needed "suspension work and shocks, brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear end... maybe new rings, also mufflers, a little wiring...". After its reconstruction the vehicle is used to carry the Ghostbusters and their equipment throughout New York City. Features include a pull-out rack holding the Ghostbusters's proton packs as well as various gadgets on the top; these gadgets are said to have been "miniaturized ghostbusting technology" developed by Dr. Egon Spengler (played by the late Harold Ramis).

The vehicle used to portray the Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac Professional chassis built by Miller-Meteor. It is a limousine-style endloader ambulance conversion envisioned by Aykroyd and Ramis, with the original vehicle design credited to the late Stephen Dane. Dane, credited as a "Hardware Consultant", drew up fully-detailed plans and elevations of the Ecto-1's interior and exterior, including roof racks and gadgets. The vehicle was originally intended to be painted black and have some strange extranormal powers; this was vetoed as the movie was shot at night, hence making it difficult to see. Only one Ecto-1 was used in the filming of the movie.

Now this casting was designed by Manson Cheung and introduced in 2010 as a New Model. This casting has seen twelve known releases, the last in 2020 in the Premium line. This casting has most often been seen in its movie-accurate colors but other tampos have been applied to it as well.

Sharing my Lego collections #21108: Ghostbusters Ecto-1

The set contains four minifigures – Ray Stantz, Egon Spangler, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore.

It’s a great set and a must-have for every Ghostbusters fan. It was the first Ideas set that I built and I’m very happy with it.

Everyone knows the words “If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! If there’s something weird and it don’t look good, Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! I ain’t afraid of no ghost…etc.”.







Ecto-1 or the Ectomobile is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor limo-style end loader combination car (ambulance conversion) used in the 1984 film Ghostbusters and other Ghostbusters fiction.

In the original movie, this vehicle was purchased by Ray Stantz for the relatively high price of $4800 (over $9800 in 2009 dollars when scaled up for inflation) in a poor state of repair. In Stantz's own words, it needed "suspension work and shocks, brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, .rear end.., new rings, mufflers, a little wiring...." It is assumed that Ray continues listing needed repairs after this scene cuts away.

After the necessary reconstruction, it was used to carry the team's ghost-capturing equipment, as well as transporting the Ghostbusters through New York City. It has a distinctive siren wail. Its features include a special pull-out rack in the rear containing the staff's proton packs, which facilitates a quick retrieval without the complication of having to reach into the vehicle's rear. There are also various gadgets mounted on the top, whose function is never revealed in the movies. A cartoon episode featured the "proton cannon", presumably a more powerful version of a proton pack, mounted on top for use against extra large or even giant sized paranormal entities. The book "Making Ghostbusters" by Don Shay describes a deleted scene where a police officer places a ticket on the Ectomobile only to have it instantly burn to ashes.

Earlier versions of scripts written by Dan Aykroyd for the first Ghostbusters also included mentions of the Ectomobile having the power of interdimensional travel. The shooting script for the movie described the Ectomobile as being black, with purple and white strobe lights that gave the vehicle a "purple aura".

A miniature replica of the vehicle was mass-produced as a children's toy. The toy version of this vehicle has sold approx. 1,000,000+ units worldwide. Polar Lights released a 1/24 scale model kit of the Ecto-1 in 2002. In 2010, Hot Wheels released a "Ghostbusters Ecto-1" as part of the "2010 Hot Wheels Premiere" series.

In 2010, the Ecto-1 makes a brief appearance in the commercial for Sony's new panoramic digital camera line.

Sharing my Ghostbusters - ECTO 1 collections


For the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, the film uses a 1984 Cadillac DeVille instead of dusting off the classic (and rather iconic) Ecto-1, a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance.

The Ecto 1A (officially named Ecto-1a) was an updated version of the Ecto-1 that the Ghostbusters used to travel. The Ghostbusters had put improvements on Ecto-1 with more technical equipment. One of the most noticeable upgrades was a digital announcement board running down either side of the vehicle's roof broadcasting Ghostbuster advertisements, specials, and their phone number, JL5-2020 or 555-2020. Also, the logo was updated on the doors and back entrance of the ambulance.
