The Ghostbusters had put improvements on Ecto-1 with more technical equipment.One of the most noticeable upgrades was a digital announcement board running down either side of the vehicle's roof broadcasting Ghostbuster advertisements, specials, and their phone number, JL5-2020 or 555-2020. Also, the logo was updated on the doors and back entrance of the ambulance, and was put on the hood.Īfter the "Infestation" event, the Ghostbusters switched from their Ecto-1 look back to Ecto-1a with a few tweaks, such as keeping the classic No Ghost logo. Ecto-1a was taken along by the Ghostbusters on their summer cross country trip across America. It was rear ended when Peter and Laura Parr were attacked by the Phantom Truck Driver. Luckily, a Super Slammer Muon Trap was attached to the roof for the trip. On Peter's cue, Laura opened the trap and the phantom was captured. Once the Ghostbusters returned to New York, Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore began maintenance on Ecto-1a. The next year, the New Ghostbusters used Ecto-1a for a little over three months while the Ghostbusters were imprisoned in the Collectors' Limbo. Kylie Griffin drove Ecto-1a to the Parkview Psychiatric Hospital for a consultation that turned into a confrontation with Idulnas and The Collectors. In November, on the night of the Day of the Dead, Ecto-1a's roof was slashed up by a projection of Santa Muerte. 1 x Guitar pick (for quick and easy removal of the licence plates)Ecto-1a was originally scripted as Ecto-2, and one reference to this remains in the movie.Winston was visibly angered by the attack and shot the projection, causing it to split into two.

The New York ECTO-1 License Plate is produced as seen on the Ectomobile in the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. A version of the front plate with the full border is also available if you would prefer it to look ‘right’. Why is the border cropped on this design? Whilst it’s difficult to see, the original ECTO-1 licence plate in Ghostbusters does actually have a full border surround, but is part-hidden on the top and left sides behind the chrome licence plate surround. Similar to the Eaglemoss plate, you may think, but together with other design and colour corrections, this plate will allow you to correctly angle and position it on the front of the car, into the top-left corner – unlike the plate provided with the model which is fixed incorrectly and permanently into the centre of the licence plate surround. The front plate, with its cropped left and top border, imitates how the plate appears in the iconic Ghostbusters scene where the Ecto-1 is first revealed.
