The look and style of the 59 hearse that all of the original Ghostbusters used has and always be priceless! but in a way i worry that our poor old Ecto-1 will end up looking like another EGB car insurance write-off. But if the old Cadillac ambulance isnt used i do hope that its just as sinister and creative as the first.
im gone.

I 100% fuly agree on this back and i was thinking maybe they can have like Dan's orginal script like able to burn up tickets, runaway from cops ect.. Also maybe we can see what all that stuff is for on the roof rack.

hmmmm…. i don't know about the RCTO having paranormal powers. i'm sure we'll be seeing our beloved original ECTO just as she was in the first film.

I hope for the Ecto from the movie to be used. I hope they do not use what they originally planned and allow it to have powers, like pass through walls and a security grid.

I admit, I prefer the original Ecto-1 to the Ecto-1A; I've not seen EGB, so I couldn't comment on that, but the RGB version wasn't too bad - just a little simplified, as I recall.

As for paranormal powers… perhaps something minor or one-time-only linked to experimental devices Ray and Egon have been creating, powered by PKE or “mood slime” could be interesting. For example, I like to think that the (sadly unseen, even as a DVD extra) filmed-but-cut parking ticket scene relates to Ray making an anti-theft/anti-tamper device similar to a modern remote-control car immobiliser. Can you imagine what a pain it would be, having the general public trying to take pieces of your car as a souvenir, or tampering with sensitive equipment? So Ray finds a way to channel PKE into this system, which is controlled by a little key fob, and causes thermal discharge to points of contact when activated. Parking tickets burn up. Souvenir hunters get their fingers slightly singed.

Plausible? Who knows. Off-topic? Yes (oops!). The long and short is, I'd like to see the original Ecto-1 as she was in the first movie, possibly with minor powers or unusual gadgetry - but not the sort of particle/anomaly/device-of-the-week abuse which ran rampant on “Star Trek: Voyager”!

I thought was said earlier that we would be seeing the original Ecto-1, just like it was in the movie, but a little worse for the wear. A little rust and stuff. Kinda like it was in the beginning of GB2, only not quite that bad.

Give us good 'ol Charlie Brown…..I mean Ecto!

I must've missed that particular post, Sarasosara (although I did scroll through a lot of threads before they vanished).
That actually sounds good to me. The original Ecto-1, a little the worse for wear… Why do I have this sudden mental image of all the owners of the Polar Lights Ecto-1 model kit going out to buy rust-coloured paint?

Well from Rays pic in the news section on GBN here it looks alot more movie than cartoon based this time.
im gone.

I am another in favor of it looking just like the one in the movies; however, there might be some kind of design legality since the style of the original vehicle was created by Cadillac (right?).
