Ecto-1
Paranormal response vehicle
Ecto-1 is the modified 1959 Cadillac ambulance used by the Ghostbusters in the film franchise.
The vehicle, with its distinctive sirens, roof-mounted equipment, and no-ghost logo, became an iconic piece of 1980s pop culture.
The name combines ecto- (from ectoplasm, the substance associated with ghosts) with a vehicle designation number.
