ADAM! I saw this car driving on a flatbed through sac a few weeks ago and had this strange feeling you had something to do with it or were going to in the future. Almost tweeted you but didn’t want to take a video and drive! Seems like you had a lot of fun, cheers buddy! :)

He was secretly testing the myth that ectoplasm can be adhesive enough to hold a camera, and from what we saw it got busted.

Adam and the Ecto-1 is the team up I never knew I’d always wanted.

[@Trixstien]

I have had a similar Ghostbusters experience like Adam driving the Ecto-1. I have met and talked with Bill Bryan the man that built, designed (based on original concept by Dan Aykroyd) and wore the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man suit in the original movie. To me shaking the hand of the man that made and wore the Stay Puft suit for the original movie, is just as epic as Adam driving the Ecto-1. :) He also told me that my cosplay knife I made was great, which that weekend I got Chuck Norris himself to stab me with. Plus having the same birthday as Ernie Hudson is also great. :)

[@johnboissy2621]

My friend and I bought a 1961 Cadillac Millar-Meteor Ambulance for $400 back in the early 90s. Kinda looked like the ECTO-01 now... a lil rust here and there... but that monster always started and handled like a dream. We dressed it up as the ECTO-01 that year for Halloween and drove it around our old neighborhoods passing out candy to the kids. They loved the car and meeting Ghostbusters. I really, REALLY wish we still had that car... many excellent memories. :-)

[@ardiekepoo744]

[@TSKseattle]

Even if it weren't the Ecto-1, just having an old beater like that with a new engine and transmission would be great

[@RabbitsInBlack]

I'm guessing none of the car is actually a real beater. They built that car and gave it a rust and dirt paint job.

[@sportfuryman]

U should build one. An old beater with a new engine is so much fun. Not to mention all the thumbs up u get when u stop for refuels

[@josephfelder33]

This video explains a lot. I just watched GB: Afterlife with my kids today, and the ECTO-1 stood out for several reasons. First, we have a car that harkens back to the originals. Very cool. However, when they fired it up in the movie, I immediately perked up...."That cam lope sounds awfully aggressive to me...I think this one's got a rodded crate motor" is what I was thinking to myself in the theater. Then the way the ECTO-1 was driven in Afterlife was incredible. Major credit to the drivers, mechanics and engineers of Afterlife, to see y'all race that beast around the way you did was a real treat, and truly impressive. I came home and went looking for answers on the car and drivers and ended up here.

[@ozcanison]

I'd be interested to see Adam look at the weathering on it, how much is prop-weathering, how much is real.

[@_WillCAD_]

Ditto. Adam is the king of weathering and distressing props to simulate age and wear, I'd love to see him do a deep dive on that car. At least some of it is real. The guy had some trouble with the passenger door sticking, and the creaking was definitely "old car don't fit no more" sounds.

[@Mikey_G]

Well, I watched this video and then the algorithm suggested another video from the official ghostbusters channel about how it was fully restored a year ago (video published). So either we’re looking at a lot of prop-weathering, or these aren’t the same cars 🤔

[@jmiller991]

@@Mikey_G I think you are talking about the full restoration done for promoting the Ghostbusters video game on 360/PS3? That was over a decade ago, and I think the car was left outside the Sony studio's HQ since then, so could be real weathering? (if the same car)

[@prodestrian]

I believe this is actually the ECTO-1A from Ghostbusters II, the original ECTO-1 was restored a decade ago and sits on display at Sony. The 1A was supposed to be restored at the same time but it never happened. But I'm assuming the majority of weathering on this is prop weathering.

[@soangry]

considering how much dust is on the engine, there's a lot of real world dirt on the car.

[@shawnadams1460]

I have always liked how Adam geeks out for ALL of us. Because you know DAYUM well we would be ear to ear grinning like that if in the same position, his laugh at the end summed it up so perfectly. And yes, them loosing a camera took us right back to those Mythbusters days!!

I so can not wait to see how this new movie turns out!

[@moler8757]

There’s a lot of argument of what the best movie car is whether it’s the DeLorean, the Batmobile, Christine, the Blues Mobile. None of those cars bring a bigger smile to your face more than the Ecto-1, I smiled with Adam even though I wasn’t in the car with him, it singlehandedly shows that Ecto-1 and Ghostbusters still is one of the greatest 80’s movies of all time.

[@kitirena_koneko]

I personally don't think there's a single best, because all of them are great--the Jet Car from Buckaroo Banzai, the Landmaster-1 from Damnation Alley, Ecto-1, the various Batmobiles, they're all fabulous in their own way.

[@camrynhamme]

I think the great think about the ecto 1 being a 59 Cadillac is that it’s damn near 62 years old at this point. So any surviving one that you find that isn’t converted into an ecto 1 already has been sitting and it comes with all the fantastic free weathering from its years of use. You can just tell by looking at the car what is original age, and it’s gorgeous that they left it.

[@LG123ABC]

It was already an old car when the original film came out in 1984!

[@mikfly]

Have bad news for ya. They completely restored the car in 2009 for the video game promotion. The wear and tear you see on the Ecto-1 now is all cosmetic. Even worse, this may not even be the original Ecto. There have been rumours that the original Ecto is tucked away on Paramount studios still, but I recall Jason saying somewhere that 2 of the 3 cars they used are from the original movies, but don’t quote me on that. Base on Adam kissing this Ecto, I’d bet my life savings that this particular Ecto he drove is thee original Ecto-1. The one thing is for certain at the time of this comment is that they had used 3 Ectomobiles for this movie, all aged to look like this.

[@waithereivegonetogethelp3240]

Must admit, I spent much of the video scrutinising the weathering. Some of the exposed rust was definitely just paint, other bits looked more realistic but they could just be parts that get close-ups and still could easily be paint jobs, just better ones. I'd be interested to know if this car was scratch built or a real old car. Either way, I'm sure they know how iconic this is and how much it'll be worth, so if it is a real car, any rust will have been treated to stop it spreading, or removed, filled and replaced with painted rust.

[@bonivuselderheart2716]

If it's the same rolling chassis that I saw back in 2011, it was an actual car and not a scratch-built; the one I saw had a ground cover under the engine bay to catch the oil from the engine. The weathering/aging job that was done on the finish looks awesome compared to the near showroom shine finish my pictures from the 2011 event show.

I'm glad you got to drive it but I miss the old days with good writing over special effects and "cool camera angles".

[@donjones4719]

I got to drive a mid-60s Cadillac ambulance once. It accelerated surprisingly well for its size. A very smooth driving experience, although not built for taking curves super-fast, obviously. Happily did 90+ on a divided highway, though. It was an early winter day and we hit some black ice coming down a hill. Boy, did that big fat back end want to come around. Luckily I grew up in a wintry region and handled it, but with no margin to spare. This was when almost all of them had been replaced by van and truck type ambulances. Got to ride in a couple of others for two other outfits, and always appreciated the smooth ride.
