Changes: Ecto-1

Latest revision as of 02:03, 15 April 2024

The Ecto-1 (also known as the Ectomobile) was the vehicle that the Ghostbusters used to travel throughout New York City busting ghosts and other entities. It was relocated to Summerville, Oklahoma for over a decade, but was later returned to New York City in summer 2021.

History

Primary Canon History

Ghostbusters (1984)

The vehicle used for the Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis, built by the Miller-Meteor company. The ambulance/hearse combination was the end loader variety. Dr. Ray Stantz found the vehicle in 1984, shortly after he mortgaged his mother's house to buy the Firehouse. Because of his mechanical skills, he was able to repair the vehicle, which he acquired for $4,800.^[1] After repairs were completed, the vehicle had quite a unique character. It became a well-recognized symbol for the Ghostbusters franchise. The vehicle had enough room in it to store Proton Packs for all of the crew, along with Ecto Goggles, P.K.E. Meters, and a slew of Traps.

Ghostbusters II

After the Ghostbusters were shut down, the Ecto-1 was used primarily for transport to and from appearances at such places as children's birthday parties. It fell into a state of disrepair, and was seen spewing smoke, and having other various mechanical problems. Following the Ghostbusters' return to business in 1989 after capturing the Scoleri Brothers, the Ecto-1 got an overhaul and was renamed Ecto-1a.

Before Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Believing that his colleagues did not believe him, Egon Spengler stole Ecto-1, his Proton Pack, all the Traps, and sixteen ounces of fuel isotope. This action proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the Ghostbusters and they were forced to cease operations entirely. Egon relocated to a Farmhouse in Summerville, Oklahoma. At some point, a gunner seat^[2] was added to the passenger rear.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife

In the summer of 2021, during his first night at the Farmhouse, Trevor explored around the property for a signal. He went inside the old collapsing barn and removed part of a tarp covering Ecto-1. The light on his phone went out, to his chagrin, and he stood in total darkness. He then made it his mission to get the car running. After work the next day, Trevor ratcheted under the hood of Ecto-1 in the barn. A headlight casing fell off. He sighed, picked it up, and walked to the driver's side. He pulled the tarp off, took one look, and called Ecto-1 a shit box. Two days later, Trevor continued working on Ecto-1. The car would not start. Trevor pleaded with Ecto-1. He failed to notice the ghost of Egon's invisible intervention. The motor roared to life. He slapped the steering wheel in triumph. Egon shoved the hood down. Trevor looked outward and drifted around in a barley field. Ecto-1 suddenly took off into the air and landed on the road. Coincidentally, he was just a few feet away from Phoebe and her friend Podcast. He drove up to them. Phoebe introduced Podcast. Trevor was surprised she had a friend. Phoebe was surprised he had a car. Trevor clarified it was a Cadillac. Podcast stated they needed a ride into town and asked if he knew how to drive. Phoebe quickly answered he failed his driver's test three times. Trevor told them to get in the back.

Eventually, they drove up on Muncher eating a fire hydrant. Trevor braked to a stop and was shocked to see a ghost then asked what they should do. Podcast wanted to get him. Podcast inadvertently triggered the gunner seat and Phoebe was moved outside the car. Muncher heard the noise made by the gunner seat, turned around, stared at them, unscrewed the water cap off the hydrant, roared, and took off as the stream of water gushed out. Ecto-1 passed through the stream of water. Phoebe fired at Muncher but she nailed the Empress Theatre sign instead. Eventually, Muncher paused, turned, and spat metal projectiles out of his mouth at Ecto-1. Trevor screamed and swerved. Phoebe lost control of her Particle Thrower and shot some news stands and a store front. After Ecto-1 turned a corner, Phoebe once again wrangled Muncher. Podcast deployed the Remote Trap Vehicle down a ramp compartment in the rear. He just about to trap Muncher but they were about to drive head on into a truck. They screamed and Trevor swerved around then dodged traffic. Phoebe lost Muncher and shot the Spinners Roller Hop sign. Muncher flew out of town and headed towards a mountain on the Shandor Mining Company property. Phoebe, Podcast, and Trevor caught up to him on the gravel road. Phoebe and Podcast successfully trapped him just before they reached the bridge to the Shandor Mining Company. Trevor screamed. Phoebe barely got the gunner seat back inside in time before impact. The side of the exposed door scraped along the bridge, then properly closed after they cleared the bridge. Everyone screamed. Ecto-1 slid into a stop and kicked up a gravel cloud. Trevor got out and high fived Phoebe. On the drive back home, Sheriff Domingo pulled them over. Trevor panicked and thought they were screwed. Podcast suggested they fight. Trevor told them to open the glove box. There was an unopened Twinkie on top of the papers. Domingo tapped on the driver side window and asked Trevor for his license and registration. They were arrested for driving without a license, an expired registration, speeding, and destroying most of Main Street.^[3] Ecto-1 was impounded at the Summerville County Sheriff's Department.

The next day, amid the chaos caused by the interdimensional cross-rip, Phoebe, Podcast, and Trevor returned to the sheriff's department along with Lucky Domingo to recover Ecto-1 and the confiscated equipment. Trevor and Lucky found Ecto-1 up on a hydraulic lift. Phoebe pushed the equipment on a cart to the rear of Ecto-1. Trevor handed the equipment to Podcast inside. In Ecto-1, Trevor drove Phoebe and Podcast to the Shandor Mining Company. Once Zuul was trapped, Trevor started up Ecto-1 and the sirens turned on. It slid in with its rear facing the stair of the Temple of Gozer. Podcast and Phoebe headed into the rear with Callie Spengler. Phoebe closed the door and Ecto-1 took off. The Remote Trap Vehicle followed close behind. Callie came to and asked what was going on. Phoebe told her it was okay. Podcast informed her she was possessed. Phoebe added she turned into a dog. Podcast added she got kind of "humpy." Callie was only getting more lost. Trevor yelled out for everyone to hold on. They turned at Spinners. Podcast lowered the hatch for the Remote Trap Vehicle. Callie remembered finding the Farmhouse's underground laboratory. Phoebe cut her off and told her she knew about it. Callie recalled seeing computers and equipment. Podcast thought the place was insane. Callie agreed and revealed she sussed out Egon had a plan. Phoebe informed her they were aware. Callie remembered seeing all the photographs of her and realizing Egon was tracking her entire life. Podcast found that rewarding. Phoebe thought it was super but Trevor pointed out they were in the middle of trying to save the world. Callie wanted in.

Vinz Clortho made a move for the Remote Trap Vehicle but missed. Podcast steered it to the sidewalk. Callie asked what that was. Trevor replied that was her boyfriend Gary. She took issue with "boyfriend." Vinz chased the Remote Trap Vehicle onto the sidewalk. He rammed into benches, tables, chairs, and newsstands before stumbling and tripping. Phoebe told her the Gatekeeper was in the Trap and her reunited with the Keymaster was bad. Callie was not catching on. Phoebe put a pin in it, pulled the lever, and moved outside on the gunner chair then she blasted Vinz. Vinz yelped. Phoebe returned inside. Callie was shocked. Phoebe stated she was a scientist. The Remote Trap Vehicle reached the ramp but faltered then finally entered the car. Phoebe continued explaining the plan to Callie. Ecto-1 plowed through some of the Revelation 3:16 signs. They all screamed.

Ecto-1 came to a stop by the Trap Field. Phoebe exited out of the rear with the Trap holding Zuul. Callie came out next and stared upwards at the Psychokinetic Atmospheric Influence now above the Farmhouse. Trevor looked up at it, too. He got into the back of Ecto-1 with Podcast. Gozer, in a disembodied form arrived soon after. Trevor was supposed to join Lucky in blasting Gozer but the gunner seat thrower failed to fire. Mini-Pufts were on the back of the gunner seat disabling the pack as well as the machines inside Ecto-1. Podcast saw one on his left cuff and screamed. Ray, Peter, and Winston arrived and battled Gozer. Gozer grabbed their streams and whipped them. The momentum lifted them off their feets and they hit the side and front of Ecto-1. Ray groaned he did not remember the job being so painful. Winston disagreed. Podcast picked up the P.K.E. Meter and tasered a Mini-Puft apart. The other Mini-Pufts got scared and tried to run away. Podcast kept up his assault then a machine turned back on. Podcast declared they were back on. Trevor fired at the capacitor silos powering the Trap Field and Gozer, Vinz, Zuul, the P.K.E. wisps flying around, and the Psychokinetic atmospheric influence were captured. Podcast stepped out of Ecto-1 covered in marshmallow residue. Winston touched the hood of Ecto-1 in dismay. He promised to take her home and get her all cleaned up. Several nights later, Ecto-1 drove across the Brooklyn Bridge into New York City. Winston purchased the Firehouse from Starbucks and walked around inside. The front doors opened and he motioned the driver in. He placed a hand on the hood.

Before Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Winston got Ecto-1 cleaned up but it still suffered mechanical issues from time to time. The red stripe was taken all the way up to the hood. The piping on the side of Ecto-1 was changed from a blue model to silver one. A dome was added to the roof rack to house the Drone Trap. To accommodate for the dome housing, the Half-Dome Directional Dish was removed and the modified Texas Instruments Cross-Section Sensitivity Unit and T.U. Antenna were moved back on the rack.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

During the Sewer Dragon chase in the summer of 2024, Gary drove and noticed the car was running hot. They drove past the Cole Haan on Fifth Avenue and observed a manhole being launched in the air and landing in the street. Phoebe told an uninterested and nauseous Trevor a joke about a photon checking into a hotel and the bellhop asked if it needed help with its luggage. Gary ran a red light but avoided a collision. Phoebe revealed the punchline and said the photon said, "No thanks, I'm traveling light." Gary laughed. Trevor asked for some air but it was out. The lights and siren died. Trevor reminded everyone he was 18 and an adult then griped about not being paid to be a Ghostbuster. Phoebe was not as well. Trevor felt a little exploited. Gary suggested they were paid with memories. Trevor checked the electrical connections and got zapped but the lights and siren came back on. Callie told him he would be fine.

To make matters worse, Trevor was unable to crank his window. Phoebe offered to use the gunner chair. Callie and Gary forbade Phoebe from going outside. The Sewer Dragon emerged, weaved through traffic, and flew head-on towards Ecto-1. It flew past the driver's side of Ecto-1, rubbing against the body. Two cars crashed at an intersection. Gary pulled a U-turn in front of the Five Points Academy and chased after the Sewer Dragon. Phoebe wanted to go out before they lost the ghost. Callie said her name with emphasis. Phoebe referred to her as "Callie." Callie reminded her she was "Mom." She declared she had a ghost to bust and activated the gunner chair. Gary thought that was so cool but Callie chided him. Callie yelled at Phoebe to get back inside Ecto-1 but she pretended she couldn't hear her over the sound of the nuclear accelerator and fired at the ghost. She snagged the tail but it continued to fly and the stream caused property damage to buildings and signs.

The Sewer Dragon turned left onto E 18th Street just before a Banana Republic. Trevor deployed and operated the Remote Trap Vehicle but the Sewer Dragon flew out of range. Callie deployed the Drone Trap. The Dragon doubled back around a building and tried to eat the drone but Callie flew it higher. The Dragon followed and was trapped near City Hall Park. Gary had to go into the wrong lane. Phoebe narrowly avoided a vehicle and got back into Ecto-1 just in time. Gary turned right and plowed through a fleet of rental bicycles. The Drone Trap landed near them as civilians gathered around Ecto-1 and took pictures and video with their phones. NY1 News reported in the incident at 11:02 am. After Phoebe was benched, Gary, Callie, and Trevor continued to go out on calls. On one call, they drove past Ray's Occult Books. On another call, they headed downtown.

Secondary Canon History

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Realistic Versions

A further updated version of the Ecto-1 appears in during the Thanksgiving 1991 weekend, Ecto-1b. This version is similar to the Ecto-1a, but adds a Super Slammer Muon Trap on the roof which enables it to capture smaller ghosts much more quickly than the portable versions, as well as adding the possibility of capturing much larger ghosts.

IDW Comics

In 1989, after Peter, Ray, and Egon were arrested on First Avenue, nearly all the equipment on Ecto-1 was stripped and confiscated by the police. Winston drove it to their trial at the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse and parked out front. When a third ghost, Mama Scoleri, manifested, Winston searched Ecto-1 for anything he could use. He found one Trap and captured her.

After Fred's crew of Poltergeists killed Egon, Ray, and Winston, Fred stashed the bodies in Ecto-1. Fred then drove Ecto-1 off into the East River. It appears the Angels later hoisted Ecto from the river in the least.

While traversing Janine's memories, Roger Baugh and Egon stumbled on Janine's interview with Peter in the Firehouse, circa 1984. Behind her was the Ecto-1, before Ray finished upgrading it. After the Tiamat incident, the Ecto was changed back to the original Ecto-1 version. Peter and Winston drove Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo to Chinatown in Ecto-1 after descriptions of an entity on a rampage matched that of Chi-You. Michelangelo was happy to man the siren. During the final battle against Chi-You in the Firehouse, Ecto-1's hood was dented by his thralls.

Ecto-1 buckled under weight of Proteus as the god stood atop it, anticipating the capture of Ghostbusters he had sought out. Janine drove the Ecto-1 and took Peter, Ray, and Winston to the Teterboro Airport where they took a private jet to Italy for their first case under contract with Erland Vinter. On a Friday, at 3 pm, weeks from Halloween, Winston tried to perform some maintenance on Ecto-1 in the garage bay while Ron Alexander went on and on about his grievances against Egon and Ray.

During a full moon, the Ghostbusters chased a ghost all over Brooklyn. It attacked Ecto-1 outside Prospect Park. The Ghostbusters exited Ecto-1 with their gear and climbed out of the sinkhole. Ray sighed at Ecto-1's predicament. Egon wiped his glasses and told Ray it wasn't a loss since they could have it hoisted and make improvements. Peter reminded everyone they had a ghost to blast first. They went into the park in search of it. Ectronymous Diamatron happened to see the Ecto-1 and had the Sky Spy scan it to add it as his vehicle form. He believed he would blend in perfectly then attempted to track down the Cybertronian signal he was tasked with investigating. The Ghostbusters returned and were perplexed with the presence of two Ecto-1 cars. Ray checked and confirmed it was still in the sinkhole. Ectronymous transformed into his robot form and revealed himself to the Ghostbusters after they trapped Starscream. Ecto-1 was stored in the Warehouse in the meantime.

The Ecto-1 was modified during much of the The Real Ghostbusters's run. These modifications included adding weapons, a blowup raft device, and more. For more about the changes go here.

Ghostbusters: The Board Game

During a paranormal incursion incited by Idulnas, the Ecto-1 was outfitted with a Dimensionometer to banish captured spirits directly to the Spirit World.

Development

Ghostbusters (1984) Development

Dan Aykroyd's original Ecto-1 was an all-black, rather sinister-looking machine with flashing white and purple strobe lights that gave it a strange, ultraviolet aura. While going through the script, the cinematographer László Kovács was the first who pointed out the black design would be a problem since part of the movie would be shot at night.^[9]^[10] It had some extranormal powers, such as the ability to dematerialize.^[11] One use of it would be to elude police pursuit.^[12] In drafts of the first movie, Ecto-1 was originally different models. In the July 6, 1983 draft, it was to be a blue and white 1975 Cadillac Full Formal Excelsior Ambulance bought for only $600 but by the time the September 30, 1983 draft was written, the price had escalated to $1400 for an even older 1959 model, "very long, gold 1959 Cadillac ambulance." During filming, inflation increased the cost to $4800.^[13] It was ultimately decided that Ecto-1, and later Ecto-1a, would be a Miller-Meteor Futura Ambulance/Hearse Combination mounted on a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Professional Chassis.

The black and gray 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Futura purchased by Ray in the movie was originally an ambulance used by the Bellwoods Rescue Squad No. 486 in Bellwood, Illonois, a suburb of Chicago, between 1968 and 1981. The exterior was red and white and the interior vinyl was baby blue. A young 20-something year old paramedic named Roger, who worked for a private ambulance company in Chicago, saw the Cadillac in November-December 1982 in the South Side with "59 Cadillac, Make Offer" written on the windshield with shoe polish. A few days later, he bought it and his father helped him retrieve it. In September 1983, the EMT company where he worked at was contacted by a representative of Columbia. They were looking for a '59 Miller Meteor as the "before car" for a movie. Roger rented it to them for four months. The deal was that it would be transported to Los Angeles in October for the filming. However, it was first trucked to New York City for the exterior shoot outside Hook & Ladder Company #8 at 18 North Moore Street when Peter exclaims, "You can't park that here!" Roger was able to make the trip to New York City in October 1983 using some of the rental money to see the filming. The license plate was "2785-FEM". He was surprised to see his car painted black and gray. That was not part of the deal, but Columbia gave him a second payment to cover the price of painting it back the way it had been. It was then transported to Los Angeles for the interior shoot of Dana's first entrance into the Firehouse. A total of 94 miles was added to its odometer.

A hospital in Riverside, California contacted Frank Corrente's Cadillac Corner in West Hollywood about selling a 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Futura ambulance in gold that was still in driving condition. Mr. Corrente agreed to purchase it and the Cadillac was driven from Riverside to West Hollywood. At some point in 1983, the Ghostbusters production team purchased the 1959 Cadillac from Cadillac Corner.^[14] Corrente sold the ambulance in part because his employees drove it around Hollywood with the siren on and local police received noise complaints from places such as a retirement home.^[15] ^{[Note 1]} The car bought from Cadillac Corner became the primary Ecto-1 hero car used in the movie. Work on the Ecto-1 hero car started in October 1983. Stephen Dane, credited as a Hardware Consultant,^[16] was the fabricator of the original Ecto-1.^[17] On October 5, 1983, Dane started working on Ecto-1. He visited the primary ambulance in the back lot at The Burbank Studios. He took reference photos and measurements then went home. Dane drew up isometrics of Ecto-1 and its roof rack and various views and elevations of the exterior and interior. Dane spent the longest amount of time in his gig working on the Ecto-1 design. After Ivan Reitman approved Dane's design, studio painters and prop makers at The Burbank Studios Mill went to work on paint and detailing. Dane oversaw construction and directed them on building the car based off his designs. After about two weeks, the paint job and details were blocked out. The prop makers also repaired the ambulance to driving condition, cleaned the interior, and installed equipment. The car was too big to be shipped by air. It was sent by railroad to New York.^[18] By the time it shipped on October 19, the ambulance was about half-done. Dane bought parts for the roof rack. Once it was done, it was shipped by airplane to New York where it was attached to Ecto-1. It took around four to five days for everything to ship from Hollywood to Manhattan. The finished Ecto-1 wasn't an exact duplicate of Dane's designs. Dane originally drew the Proton Packs to lay sideways on Ecto-1's gurney but the prop makes changed that so the packs were upright at a slight angle. Some parts on the roof rack changed position from the design. They were on top of each other or faced in a different direction. After one to two days of finishing touches, Ecto-1 was ready for filming.^[19]

Ecto-1 broke down in Central Park. They were blocking the crosstown traffic so the cast and crew pushed it out of the way.^[20] After principal photography moved to Los Angeles, the second unit continued doing a couple of shots in New York with Ecto-1 and it broke down.^[21] Ecto-1 died during filming of the Chapter 20 "Keymaster" scene where Ray and Winston drove across the Manhattan Bridge.^[22] The black and gray Cadillac was returned to Roger in February 1984 with some damage to the rear end as if it had been backed into a wall. A hand-made logo was put on the door then Roger and his then-girlfriend Annette took the car to a drive-in for opening night of the movie in Wheeling, Illinois on June 15, 1984. A few years later, in 1988, Roger sold it to a downstate Illinois paramedic and car collector named Ed. Before the release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game in 2009, the original Ecto-1 was now rusty and literally falling apart. It was fully restored to promote the game. Dan Aykroyd was shocked at the high quality of the restoration. Around 2012, the black and gray Cadillac was sold to a private car collection in Illinois.

Ghostbusters II Development

Ecto-1 was backfiring and spewing smoke. This was not done by special effects as the Cadillac truly was in a poor state of repair. It finally "died" on the Brooklyn Bridge. The New York Police Department fined the filmmakers because the Brooklyn Bridge lacked breakdown lanes and Ecto-1 was blocking traffic.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Development

Three Ecto-1s were used in the movie. Ghostlight Industries, based in Los Angeles, were commissioned to build the three cars.^[23] Ghostlight had less than three months to build them.^[24] The crew went frame by frame of the 1984 movie and logged all the details of Ecto-1. The original license plate was scanned and replicated. The ladder was moved to the other side of Ecto-1 to compensate for the addition of the gunner seat.^[25] The Ecto-1a that Sony had in a storage container was one of the cars used to build Ecto-1.^[26] While the two Ecto-1 hero cars were 1959 Cadillac models, the third Ecto-1 was sliced into sections for filming certain scenes and was a 1961 donated by a Ghostbusters fans.^[27] Some of the moldings for the Ecto-1 built for Ghostbusters: Afterlife were recreated with 3D printings or fiber glass parts that were chromed when the original could not be sourced.^[28]

The initial idea for the gunner seat was to just bolt on a regular Proton Pack.^[29] The gunner seat's Particle Thrower was designed by Kirsten Franson then built by The Hand Prop Room.^[30] Early concepts for the Remote Trap Vehicle's deployment in Ecto-1 included a swing out arm and a rotating turret door.^[31]^[32] For the No-Ghost logo on the Ecto-1s for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Francois Audouy recreated vinyl replicas of the logo then he integrated specific cracked patterns to simulate aging.^[33]

During the testing phase, one of the Ecto-1 cars was driven by the stunt driver in a parking lot. He tried to take it into a sideways skid and the wheels fell off. It was sent back to Los Angeles for an upgraded suspension and Ford Mustang axles.^[34]^[35] The suspension was designed and built specifically built for the cars. They also had General Motors LS3 crate engines with 550 horsepower.^[36]

In a deleted scene of the first movie, there was encounter between a policeman and the Ecto-1. It was the only scene in the final shooting script that suggested the vehicle had some extranormal powers carried over from Aykroyd's initial draft. It was removed because it slowed down the montage.^[43] Ivan Reitman also felt it was asking too much from the audience.^[44]

When Trevor, Podcast, and Phoebe, in Ecto-1, find Muncher eating a hydrant, that was filmed in front of Queens Hotel in Fort MacLeod.
The Gunner seat reveal was filmed in Fort MacLeod, on the corner of Second Avenue and 24th Street.
The Kenner Ecto-1 toy featured a similar blaster chair but it was on the roof.
Some of the shots of Phoebe on the gunner seat were filmed against greenscreen and composited in later. If a scene involved using a second unit and stunt double, the visual effects team did a face replacement with Mckenna Grace's.^[65]
In pursuit of Muncher in Ecto-1, they turn off 2 Avenue onto 24th Street then past the Empress Theatre at 235 24th Street, Fort MacLeod, Alberta T0L 0Z0, Canada.
After being pulled over by the Sheriff's Department, a Twinkie is seen in the Ecto-1's glove box.
The police garage Ecto-1 exits out of was filmed at Crossfield Automotive next to where the sheriff's office was filmed.
The shot of the garage door rising up mirrors when the Ecto-1 drove out of the Firehouse to head to the Sedgewick Hotel in the first movie, Chapter 11: "We Got One!"
After leaving the sheriff's office, Ecto-1 turns and passes by a Stay Puft Marshmallows mural on the side of a building. This was filmed on Railway Street in Crossfield.
The shot of Ecto-1 turning past the Stay Puft Marshmallows sign was a recreation of the shot of Ecto-1 leaving the Firehouse after the Ghostbusters got their first call, seen in Chapter 11: "We Got One!"^[66]
Podcast emerges from Ecto-1 covered in marshmallow residue much like three of the Ghostbusters at the end of the first movie, Chapter 28: Crossing Streams.
The end tag was seen being filmed on August 11, 2021 at the Los Angeles firehouse used in the original two movies. The Ecto-1 and Containment Unit were seen.^[67]

Tertiary Canon Trivia

The Ghostbusters: Ectomobile book, and later the Ghostbusters app released during promotion of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, list several devices on the roof rack and their function:
- The Modified Cross-Section Sensitivity Unit filters and sorts P.K.E. data to pinpoint the location of paranormal activity with maximum accuracy.
- The T.U. Antenna detects P.K.E. levels at high frequencies through red tube "nostrils," which earned its nickname "The Sniffer."
- The Half-Dome Directional Dish monitors and records potential sources of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).
- The Modified Marine Radome Antenna emits a sonar-like sweep to detect and locate spectral particles while measuring P.K.E. levels.
On page 20 of Egon's Journal, a supplement of the Hasbro Haslab Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler's Proton Pack, Egon considered putting the gunner chair on the roof but deemed it unsafe.

Notes

↑ According a phone call conducted between Ghostbusters Wiki administrator Mrmichaelt and Frank Corrente on June 30, 2023, Mr. Corrente got a call from a job site in Riverside about a hospital who wanted to sell him a gold 1959 Cadillac ambulance and it was driven from Riverside to the Cadillac Corner in West Hollywood. Mr. Corrente also recalled when his employees drove the car around, the police would notify him of noise complaints from a retirement home.

Paragraph reads: "Dan Aykroyd's original Ectomobile was an all-black rather sinister-looking machine with flashing white and purple strobe lights that gave it a strange, ultraviolet aura. Though kept essentially intact through all the drafts, the vehicle concept -- suggesting a hearse rather more than an ambulance -- was clearly more in keeping with the darker tone of Aykroyd's first draft than with the lighter ones that followed it. It was cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs, however, who first pointed out a serious problem with it."
↑ Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 67 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Joe Medjuck recounts: "The Ectomobile would have been nothing more than a couple of headlights driving through the streets. So, keeping that in mind, we decided we'd better go with a white ambulance trimmed in red."
↑ Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 67 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Harold Ramis recounts: "Dan's script was set in the near future and there was much more fantasy in it. In that script, the Ectomobile was able to dematerialize. When we anchored the script more in reality and set the time in the present, that concept had to go. Besides, it's funnier so see them in an old ambulance that barely runs."
↑ Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 95 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Harold Ramis recounts: "The encounter between the policeman and the Ectomobile is the only scene in the final shooting script which suggested that the vehicle itself had some extranormal powers -- a carryover from Dan Aykroyd's initial draft in which the Ectomobile was equipped with an advanced dematerializing capability that allowed its operators, functioning somewhat outside the law, to readily elude police pursuit."
↑ Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 50 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Paragraph reads: "In all previous drafts -- including Aykroyd's -- the basic vehicle from which the 'Ectomobile' would evolve was specified to be a 1975 Cadillac ambulance, secured for a bargain basement price of only $600. By the time the final script was written, the price had escalated to $1400 -- for an even older 1959 model. During filming, inflation struck once more, and the pricetag was upped to $4800."

In 1984 there was only one place in Hollywood to buy a unique classic or exoctic vehicle and everyone knew to go see Frank Corrente Cadillac Corner. So yes Columbia Pictures found the perfect 1959 Cadillac Ambulance at Frank’s for their first Ghostbuster movie. Who knew in 2021, we would see it features again in the new movie Ghostbusters afterlife. Oh yes we all know Frank should have leased it to them but he sold it as his guys would drive it around Hollywood with the siren on and he was happy to get rid of the aggravation. Do you rememember Johnny, he worked for Frank and he was the first to be in the Ghostbuster ambulance. I am sure you all have a few cars you regret selling."

I mean, we were literally going frame by frame through the original '84 film and looking for all kinds of details. We got the original car out and we scanned the license plate so we could replicate it perfectly. You'll notice there's a few differences. Uh, the ladder. A lot of people saw this really early. The ladder was moved to the other side but that had a reason because we added the gunner seat. The door flips open, the seat – well, you're gonna see. It's really cool. There's a lot of cool things, lots of surprises you still don't know about this car.

Now you'll notice--I'm ex-infantry so when you have vehicle weapons, they always have a shorter barrel and the reason for the shorter barrel is that you can get in and out of the vehicle a lot faster.

[Note01-16] According a phone call conducted between Ghostbusters Wiki administrator Mrmichaelt and Frank Corrente on June 30, 2023, Mr. Corrente got a call from a job site in Riverside about a hospital who wanted to sell him a gold 1959 Cadillac ambulance and it was driven from Riverside to the Cadillac Corner in West Hollywood. Mr. Corrente also recalled when his employees drove the car around, the police would notify him of noise complaints from a retirement home.

[9] Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 67 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Paragraph reads: "Dan Aykroyd's original Ectomobile was an all-black rather sinister-looking machine with flashing white and purple strobe lights that gave it a strange, ultraviolet aura. Though kept essentially intact through all the drafts, the vehicle concept -- suggesting a hearse rather more than an ambulance -- was clearly more in keeping with the darker tone of Aykroyd's first draft than with the lighter ones that followed it. It was cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs, however, who first pointed out a serious problem with it."

[10] Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 67 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Joe Medjuck recounts: "The Ectomobile would have been nothing more than a couple of headlights driving through the streets. So, keeping that in mind, we decided we'd better go with a white ambulance trimmed in red."

[11] Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 67 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Harold Ramis recounts: "Dan's script was set in the near future and there was much more fantasy in it. In that script, the Ectomobile was able to dematerialize. When we anchored the script more in reality and set the time in the present, that concept had to go. Besides, it's funnier so see them in an old ambulance that barely runs."

[12] Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 95 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Harold Ramis recounts: "The encounter between the policeman and the Ectomobile is the only scene in the final shooting script which suggested that the vehicle itself had some extranormal powers -- a carryover from Dan Aykroyd's initial draft in which the Ectomobile was equipped with an advanced dematerializing capability that allowed its operators, functioning somewhat outside the law, to readily elude police pursuit."

[13] Shay, Don (November 1985). Making Ghostbusters, p. 50 annotation. New York Zoetrope, New York NY USA, ISBN 0918432685. Paragraph reads: "In all previous drafts -- including Aykroyd's -- the basic vehicle from which the 'Ectomobile' would evolve was specified to be a 1975 Cadillac ambulance, secured for a bargain basement price of only $600. By the time the final script was written, the price had escalated to $1400 -- for an even older 1959 model. During filming, inflation struck once more, and the pricetag was upped to $4800."

[15] Frank Corrente Cadillac Corner facebook 11/23/2021 Paragraph reads: "Who you going to call... Frank Corrente. In 1984 there was only one place in Hollywood to buy a unique classic or exoctic vehicle and everyone knew to go see Frank Corrente Cadillac Corner. So yes Columbia Pictures found the perfect 1959 Cadillac Ambulance at Frank’s for their first Ghostbuster movie. Who knew in 2021, we would see it features again in the new movie Ghostbusters afterlife. Oh yes we all know Frank should have leased it to them but he sold it as his guys would drive it around Hollywood with the siren on and he was happy to get rid of the aggravation. Do you rememember Johnny, he worked for Frank and he was the first to be in the Ghostbuster ambulance. I am sure you all have a few cars you regret selling."

I mean, we were literally going frame by frame through the original '84 film and looking for all kinds of details. We got the original car out and we scanned the license plate so we could replicate it perfectly. You'll notice there's a few differences. Uh, the ladder. A lot of people saw this really early. The ladder was moved to the other side but that had a reason because we added the gunner seat. The door flips open, the seat – well, you're gonna see. It's really cool. There's a lot of cool things, lots of surprises you still don't know about this car. Um, and it was so much fun to shoot because we put this crazy new engine in it and we have it doing things you'd never believe Ecto-1 could do."

Usually I am very loath to play things backward, because they have a very telltale characteristic and I think it's sort of a cop out. I played it backward and it did that err-reearr-err-reearr- the exact opposite of an animal going arghh. It lost some of its organic sound and it became this 'mechanical animal' claxon."

It had been done with the Bluesmobile in The Blues Brothers -- where the car did somersaults and things like that -- and I didn't think it was particularly successful. I don't like movies that have no rules -- where anything is possible. We were already asking the audience to believe that there was a piece of equipment that could trap a ghost. Asking them to accept an Ectomobile with supernatural powers was just too much."

[61] The Black Firehouse Podcast Spotify "Session 3: Ghostbusters Afterlife Gunners Seat & Sentry Proton Packs" 24:34-24:39 1/25/2022 Jordin Johanson says: "The original wand for the Ectomobile was white. It wasn't a black wand."

[62] @dreadmakerroberts TikTok "Was there a continuity error on the wand in the Ecto that Trevor used in the final battle?" 00:16-00:46 1/8/2022 Ben Eadie says: "Okay, I'm not trying to bug ya man, but the wand was actually made as a snub nose. Now you'll notice--I'm ex-infantry so when you have vehicle weapons, they always have a shorter barrel and the reason for the shorter barrel is that you can get in and out of the vehicle a lot faster. That same methodology or thought process went in on the wands so the Ecto wand was shorter and did not extend so that it would kind of go with everything. It was also called the snub nose."

[63] The Black Firehouse Podcast Spotify "Session 3: Ghostbusters Afterlife Gunners Seat & Sentry Proton Packs" 29:56-30:08 1/25/2022 Jordin Johanson says: "I think it was plastic or wood. It was laser cut on a Glowforge we had running in the little props area we were working in which we shared with set dec."

[64] Hasbro Pulse YouTube "Fan First Monday | Ghostbusters HasLab Plasma Series Spengler's Proton Pack Livestream" 39:05-39:39 11/22/2021 'Ben Eadie says: "And another one actually that happened and this was this was sort of like the bane of my existence during the Ecto-1 scenes is is that every time that jump seat came out, it it would knock off one of the pieces on the bumper and so each time that you see that come out, imagine that shot taking 20 or 30 more takes and me going in there with CA glue 20 or 30 more times going 'One minute,' gluing stuff together, holding it, they're going 'Okay, ready, go,' and praying that it didn't fall off while they were shooting the next scene."

[65] Tested YouTube "Adam Savage Drives Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Ecto-1!" 2:18-2:24 9/1/2021 Dave Leader says: "There's a lot of, I mean, we've gone through a couple of different suspensions just because of the extra weight."

[66] Cospective "cinesync Ghostbusters: Afterlife" 1/25/2022 Alessandro Ongaro says: "A lot of the shots seen from inside the car were shot on a greenscreen stage and composited, such as when Phoebe Spengler is in the gunner seat. We also had to do a couple of face replacements where we’d shot using a second unit and a stunt double."

[67] IGN YouTube "Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Exclusive Trailer Breakdown with Director Jason Reitman" 09:49-9:59 7/26/2021 Jason Reitman says: "This shot is also the tail end of a recreation of a shot from '84 of Ecto-1 flying out of the Firehouse. You know, there's that great 180 it does that they had to undercrank you know in a Chaplan-esque way back in '84 and we wanted to get the car going so fast that it cooked on its own."

-The '''Ecto-1''' was the vehicle that the Ghostbusters used to travel throughout New York City busting ghosts and other entities.
+The '''Ecto-1''' (also known as the '''Ectomobile''') was the vehicle that the Ghostbusters used to travel throughout [[New York City]] busting ghosts and other entities. It was relocated to [[Summerville]], Oklahoma for over a decade, but was later returned to New York City in summer 2021.
 ==History==
+===Primary Canon History===
-The vehicle used for the Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis, built by the Miller-Meteor company. The bitchin car combination was the end loader variety. [[Ray Stantz|Dr. Ray Stantz]] found the vehicle shortly after he mortgaged his mother's house to buy the [[Firehouse]]. Because of his mechanical skills, he was able to repair the vehicle, which he acquired for $4,800.<ref>[[Ray Stantz]] (2005). [[Ghostbusters]] (1984) (DVD ts. 20:46). Columbia Pictures.

+Believing that his colleagues did not believe him, [[Egon Spengler]] stole Ecto-1, his Proton Pack, all the Traps, and sixteen ounces of fuel isotope. This action proved to be the final nail in the coffin for the Ghostbusters and they were forced to cease operations entirely. Egon relocated to a [[Farmhouse]] in [[Summerville]], Oklahoma.

-==New Incarnations==
+In the summer of 2021, during his first night at the Farmhouse, [[Trevor Spengler|Trevor]] explored around the property for a signal. He went inside the old collapsing barn and removed part of a tarp covering Ecto-1. The light on his phone went out, to his chagrin, and he stood in total darkness. He then made it his mission to get the car running. After work the next day, Trevor ratcheted under the hood of Ecto-1 in the barn. A headlight casing fell off. He sighed, picked it up, and walked to the driver's side. He pulled the tarp off, took one look, and called Ecto-1 a shit box. Two days later, Trevor continued working on Ecto-1. The car would not start. Trevor pleaded with Ecto-1. He failed to notice the ghost of Egon's invisible intervention. The motor roared to life. He slapped the steering wheel in triumph. Egon shoved the hood down. Trevor looked outward and drifted around in a barley field. Ecto-1 suddenly took off into the air and landed on the road. Coincidentally, he was just a few feet away from [[Phoebe Spengler|Phoebe]] and her friend [[Podcast]]. He drove up to them. Phoebe introduced Podcast. Trevor was surprised she had a friend. Phoebe was surprised he had a car. Trevor clarified it was a Cadillac. Podcast stated they needed a ride into town and asked if he knew how to drive. Phoebe quickly answered he failed his driver's test three times. Trevor told them to get in the back.
-After the Ghostbusters were shut down, the Ecto-1 was used primarily for transport to and from appearances at such places as children's birthday parties. It fell into a state of disrepair, and is seen spewing smoke, and having various other mechanical problems.
+Eventually, they drove up on [[Muncher]] eating a fire hydrant. Trevor braked to a stop and was shocked to see a ghost then asked what they should do. Podcast wanted to get him. Podcast inadvertently triggered the gunner seat and Phoebe was moved outside the car. Muncher heard the noise made by the gunner seat, turned around, stared at them, unscrewed the water cap off the hydrant, roared, and took off as the stream of water gushed out. Ecto-1 passed through the stream of water. Phoebe fired at Muncher but she nailed the Empress Theatre sign instead. Eventually, Muncher paused, turned, and spat metal projectiles out of his mouth at Ecto-1. Trevor screamed and swerved. Phoebe lost control of her [[Particle Thrower]] and shot some news stands and a store front. After Ecto-1 turned a corner, Phoebe once again wrangled Muncher. Podcast deployed the [[Remote Trap Vehicle]] down a ramp compartment in the rear. He just about to trap Muncher but they were about to drive head on into a truck. They screamed and Trevor swerved around then dodged traffic. Phoebe lost Muncher and shot the [[Spinners Roller Hop]] sign. Muncher flew out of town and headed towards a mountain on the [[Shandor Mining Company]] property. Phoebe, Podcast, and Trevor caught up to him on the gravel road. Phoebe and Podcast successfully trapped him just before they reached the bridge to the Shandor Mining Company. Trevor screamed. Phoebe barely got the gunner seat back inside in time before impact. The side of the exposed door scraped along the bridge, then properly closed after they cleared the bridge. Everyone screamed. Ecto-1 slid into a stop and kicked up a gravel cloud. Trevor got out and high fived Phoebe. On the drive back home, [[Sheriff Domingo]] pulled them over. Trevor panicked and thought they were screwed. Podcast suggested they fight. Trevor told them to open the glove box. There was an unopened [[The Twinkie|Twinkie]] on top of the papers. Domingo tapped on the driver side window and asked Trevor for his license and registration. They were arrested for driving without a license, an expired registration, speeding, and destroying most of Main Street.<ref>[[Sheriff Domingo]] (2022). [[Ghostbusters: Afterlife]] [[Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Chapter 11)|Chapter 11]] (2021) (Blu-Ray ts. 01:08:17-01:08:21). Sony Pictures. ''Sheriff Domingo says: "Driving without a license. Expired registration. Speeding."''</ref> Ecto-1 was impounded at the [[Summerville County Sheriff's Department]].
-Following the Ghostbusters' return to business after capturing the [[Scoleri Brothers]], the Ecto-1 got an overhaul and was renamed [[Ecto-1a]].
+The next day, amid the chaos caused by the interdimensional cross-rip, Phoebe, Podcast, and Trevor returned to the sheriff's department along with [[Lucky Domingo]] to recover Ecto-1 and the confiscated equipment. Trevor and Lucky found Ecto-1 up on a hydraulic lift. Phoebe pushed the equipment on a cart to the rear of Ecto-1. Trevor handed the equipment to Podcast inside. In Ecto-1, Trevor drove Phoebe and Podcast to the Shandor Mining Company. Once [[Zuul]] was trapped, Trevor started up Ecto-1 and the sirens turned on. It slid in with its rear facing the stair of the [[Temple of Gozer]]. Podcast and Phoebe headed into the rear with [[Callie Spengler]]. Phoebe closed the door and Ecto-1 took off. The Remote Trap Vehicle followed close behind. Callie came to and asked what was going on. Phoebe told her it was okay. Podcast informed her she was possessed. Phoebe added she turned into a dog. Podcast added she got kind of "humpy." Callie was only getting more lost. Trevor yelled out for everyone to hold on. They turned at Spinners. Podcast lowered the hatch for the Remote Trap Vehicle. Callie remembered finding the Farmhouse's underground laboratory. Phoebe cut her off and told her she knew about it. Callie recalled seeing computers and equipment. Podcast thought the place was insane. Callie agreed and revealed she sussed out Egon had a plan. Phoebe informed her they were aware. Callie remembered seeing all the photographs of her and realizing Egon was tracking her entire life. Podcast found that rewarding. Phoebe thought it was super but Trevor pointed out they were in the middle of trying to save the world. Callie wanted in.
+[[Vinz Clortho]] made a move for the Remote Trap Vehicle but missed. Podcast steered it to the sidewalk. Callie asked what that was. Trevor replied that was her boyfriend [[Gary Grooberson|Gary]]. She took issue with "boyfriend." Vinz chased the Remote Trap Vehicle onto the sidewalk. He rammed into benches, tables, chairs, and newsstands before stumbling and tripping. Phoebe told her the Gatekeeper was in the Trap and her reunited with the Keymaster was bad. Callie was not catching on. Phoebe put a pin in it, pulled the lever, and moved outside on the gunner chair then she blasted Vinz. Vinz yelped. Phoebe returned inside. Callie was shocked. Phoebe stated she was a scientist. The Remote Trap Vehicle reached the ramp but faltered then finally entered the car. Phoebe continued explaining the plan to Callie. Ecto-1 plowed through some of the Revelation 3:16 signs. They all screamed.
+Ecto-1 came to a stop by the [[Trap Field]]. Phoebe exited out of the rear with the Trap holding Zuul. Callie came out next and stared upwards at the [[Psychokinetic Atmospheric Influence]] now above the Farmhouse. Trevor looked up at it, too. He got into the back of Ecto-1 with Podcast. Gozer, in a disembodied form arrived soon after. Trevor was supposed to join Lucky in blasting Gozer but the gunner seat thrower failed to fire. [[Mini-Pufts]] were on the back of the gunner seat disabling the pack as well as the machines inside Ecto-1. Podcast saw one on his left cuff and screamed. Ray, Peter, and Winston arrived and battled Gozer. Gozer grabbed their streams and whipped them. The momentum lifted them off their feets and they hit the side and front of Ecto-1. Ray groaned he did not remember the job being so painful. Winston disagreed. Podcast picked up the [[P.K.E. Meter]] and tasered a Mini-Puft apart. The other Mini-Pufts got scared and tried to run away. Podcast kept up his assault then a machine turned back on. Podcast declared they were back on. Trevor fired at the capacitor silos powering the Trap Field and Gozer, Vinz, Zuul, the P.K.E. wisps flying around, and the Psychokinetic atmospheric influence were captured. Podcast stepped out of Ecto-1 covered in marshmallow residue. Winston touched the hood of Ecto-1 in dismay. He promised to take her home and get her all cleaned up. Several nights later, Ecto-1 drove across the Brooklyn Bridge into New York City. Winston purchased the Firehouse from Starbucks and walked around inside. The front doors opened and he motioned the driver in. He placed a hand on the hood.
+====Before Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire====
+Winston got Ecto-1 cleaned up but it still suffered mechanical issues from time to time. The red stripe was taken all the way up to the hood. The piping on the side of Ecto-1 was changed from a blue model to silver one. A dome was added to the roof rack to house the [[Drone Trap]]. To accommodate for the dome housing, the Half-Dome Directional Dish was removed and the modified Texas Instruments Cross-Section Sensitivity Unit and T.U. Antenna were moved back on the rack.
+====Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire====
+During the [[Sewer Dragon]] chase in the summer of 2024, Gary drove and noticed the car was running hot. They drove past the Cole Haan on Fifth Avenue and observed a manhole being launched in the air and landing in the street. Phoebe told an uninterested and nauseous Trevor a joke about a photon checking into a hotel and the bellhop asked if it needed help with its luggage. Gary ran a red light but avoided a collision. Phoebe revealed the punchline and said the photon said, "No thanks, I'm traveling light." Gary laughed. Trevor asked for some air but it was out. The lights and siren died. Trevor reminded everyone he was 18 and an adult then griped about not being paid to be a Ghostbuster. Phoebe was not as well. Trevor felt a little exploited. Gary suggested they were paid with memories. Trevor checked the electrical connections and got zapped but the lights and siren came back on. Callie told him he would be fine.
+To make matters worse, Trevor was unable to crank his window. Phoebe offered to use the gunner chair. Callie and Gary forbade Phoebe from going outside. The Sewer Dragon emerged, weaved through traffic, and flew head-on towards Ecto-1. It flew past the driver's side of Ecto-1, rubbing against the body. Two cars crashed at an intersection. Gary pulled a U-turn in front of the Five Points Academy and chased after the Sewer Dragon. Phoebe wanted to go out before they lost the ghost. Callie said her name with emphasis. Phoebe referred to her as "Callie." Callie reminded her she was "Mom." She declared she had a ghost to bust and activated the gunner chair. Gary thought that was so cool but Callie chided him. Callie yelled at Phoebe to get back inside Ecto-1 but she pretended she couldn't hear her over the sound of the nuclear accelerator and fired at the ghost. She snagged the tail but it continued to fly and the stream caused property damage to buildings and signs.
+The Sewer Dragon turned left onto E 18th Street just before a Banana Republic. Trevor deployed and operated the Remote Trap Vehicle but the Sewer Dragon flew out of range. Callie deployed the Drone Trap. The Dragon doubled back around a building and tried to eat the drone but Callie flew it higher. The Dragon followed and was trapped near City Hall Park. Gary had to go into the wrong lane. Phoebe narrowly avoided a vehicle and got back into Ecto-1 just in time. Gary turned right and plowed through a fleet of rental bicycles. The Drone Trap landed near them as civilians gathered around Ecto-1 and took pictures and video with their phones. [[NY1 News]] reported in the incident at 11:02 am. After Phoebe was benched, Gary, Callie, and Trevor continued to go out on calls. On one call, they drove past [[Ray's Occult Books]]. On another call, they headed downtown.

+====Ghostbusters: The Video Game Realistic Versions====
 A further updated version of the Ecto-1 appears in during the Thanksgiving 1991 weekend, [[Ecto-1b]]. This version is similar to the Ecto-1a, but adds a [[Super Slammer Muon Trap]] on the roof which enables it to capture smaller ghosts much more quickly than the portable versions, as well as adding the possibility of capturing much larger ghosts.
+====IDW Comics====
-==Secondary Canon History==
+In 1989, after Peter, Ray, and Egon were arrested on [[First Avenue]], nearly all the equipment on Ecto-1 was stripped and confiscated by the police. Winston drove it to their trial at the [[Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse]] and parked out front. When a third ghost, [[Mama Scoleri]], manifested, Winston searched Ecto-1 for anything he could use. He found one Trap and captured her.
-===Animated Series===
-The Ecto-1 was modified during much of the first cartoon's run, These modifications included adding weapons, a blowup raft device, and more. For more about the changes go [[Ecto-1/Animated|here]].
+After [[Fred (IDW)|Fred's]] crew of [[Poltergeists (The Other Side)|Poltergeists]] killed Egon, Ray, and Winston, Fred stashed the bodies in Ecto-1. Fred then drove Ecto-1 off into the [[East River]]. It appears the [[Angels]] later hoisted Ecto from the river in the least.
+While traversing Janine's memories, [[Roger Baugh]] and Egon stumbled on Janine's interview with Peter in the Firehouse, circa 1984. Behind her was the Ecto-1, before Ray finished upgrading it. After the [[Tiamat]] incident, the Ecto was changed back to the original Ecto-1 version. Peter and Winston drove [[Michelangelo]], [[Raphael]] and [[Leonardo]] to [[Chinatown]] in Ecto-1 after descriptions of an entity on a rampage matched that of [[Chi-You]]. Michelangelo was happy to man the siren. During the final battle against [[Chi-You]] in the Firehouse, Ecto-1's hood was dented by [[Thralls of Chi-You|his thralls]].
+Ecto-1 buckled under weight of [[Proteus]] as the god stood atop it, anticipating the capture of [[The Real Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters]] he had sought out. Janine drove the Ecto-1 and took Peter, Ray, and Winston to the [[Teterboro Airport]] where they took a private jet to Italy for their first case under contract with [[Erland Vinter]]. On a Friday, at 3 pm, weeks from Halloween, Winston tried to perform some maintenance on Ecto-1 in the garage bay while [[Ron Alexander]] went on and on about his grievances against Egon and Ray.
+During a full moon, the Ghostbusters chased a [[Prospect Park Ghost|ghost]] all over Brooklyn. It attacked Ecto-1 outside [[Prospect Park]]. The Ghostbusters exited Ecto-1 with their gear and climbed out of the sinkhole. Ray sighed at Ecto-1's predicament. Egon wiped his glasses and told Ray it wasn't a loss since they could have it hoisted and make improvements. Peter reminded everyone they had a ghost to blast first. They went into the park in search of it. [[Ectotron|Ectronymous Diamatron]] happened to see the Ecto-1 and had the [[Sky Spy]] scan it to add it as his vehicle form. He believed he would blend in perfectly then attempted to track down the Cybertronian signal he was tasked with investigating. The Ghostbusters returned and were perplexed with the presence of two Ecto-1 cars. Ray checked and confirmed it was still in the sinkhole. Ectronymous transformed into his robot form and revealed himself to the Ghostbusters after they trapped [[Starscream]]. Ecto-1 was stored in the [[Warehouse]] in the meantime.

+The black and gray 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor Futura purchased by Ray in the movie was originally an ambulance used by the Bellwoods Rescue Squad No. 486 in Bellwood, Illonois, a suburb of Chicago, between 1968 and 1981. The exterior was red and white and the interior vinyl was baby blue. A young 20-something year old paramedic named Roger, who worked for a private ambulance company in Chicago, saw the Cadillac in November-December 1982 in the South Side with "59 Cadillac, Make Offer" written on the windshield with shoe polish. A few days later, he bought it and his father helped him retrieve it. In September 1983, the EMT company where he worked at was contacted by a representative of Columbia. They were looking for a '59 Miller Meteor as the "before car" for a movie. Roger rented it to them for four months. The deal was that it would be transported to Los Angeles in October for the filming. However, it was first trucked to New York City for the exterior shoot outside Hook & Ladder Company #8 at 18 North Moore Street when Peter exclaims, "You can't park that here!" Roger was able to make the trip to New York City in October 1983 using some of the rental money to see the filming. The license plate was "2785-FEM". He was surprised to see his car painted black and gray. That was not part of the deal, but Columbia gave him a second payment to cover the price of painting it back the way it had been. It was then transported to Los Angeles for the interior shoot of Dana's first entrance into the Firehouse. A total of 94 miles was added to its odometer.

-*In ''[[Ghostbusters II]]'', Ecto-1 was backfiring and spewing smoke. This was not done by special effects as the Cadillac truly was in a poor state of repair. It finally "died" on the Brooklyn Bridge. The NYPD fined the filmmakers because the Brooklyn Bridge does not have breakdown lanes and Ecto-1 was blocking traffic.
-*Before ''[[Ghostbusters: The Video Game]]'' was released, the original (and now rusty and literally falling apart) Ecto-1 was restored to promote the game. [[Dan Aykroyd]] was shocked at the high quality of the restoration.
-*There had been 3 Miller-Meteor Ambulances to portray the 2 vehicles, the pre-Ecto-1 which was never transformed, Ecto-1 which was originally a gold ambulance and Ecto-1a.
