Maybe the A stands for Advanced? After all, the Ecto-1A was a major upgrade to the Ecto-1.

There was supposed to be a scene in GB2 that had both cars parked next to each other in the firehouse.. The Ecto-1 and the Ecto-1a were initially supposed to be 2 different cars. Since that scene was cut, its logical to assume that they were the same car.. But they had to use different license plates on the 2 cars because they were different cars..
As a side note, they went with “Ecto-1a” in the second movie according to rumors and legend because at that time, there had already been an “Ecto-2” in one of the Cartoon GB episodes. (I dont know how accurate that is, but that's what I've heard)

Hmm, I like all those answers, especially the “A” for “Advanced.”
The influence of RGB on GB2 was evident in the Ugly Little Spud's name change from “Onionhead” to “Slimer.” And if memory serves, there was indeed an Ecto-2 in RGB, a gyro-copter type of thing. So maybe that was the case as well.

In GB2 there were susposed to be 2 cars at one point The ECTO 1A and the ECTO 2.
The 1A being a major upgrade of the ECTO 1 hense the 1A designation.
The 1A and the 2 were susposed to be identical in design. so they could use the same car for all shots.
If you look closely when the Ectomobile pulls up as Venkman is about to hail a cab you will see, if you freeze frame the DVD and have a really good clear TV, the License Plate reads ECTO 2

This could be a long shot, but maybe they decided that calling it the ecto1 when it was updated meant that only the outside was new.(like when they named the second Enterprise in Star Trek 1701-A instead of 1701.
I may be wrong.
