It was a Ambulance company in the Dimond... 59 is one of my favorite years for Cizzak. The Hearse in Harold & Maude is a 59 It resides in Palo Alto. Whadda beauty though..

It looked the same as the one pictured, but it's hard to imagine a studio would sell something like this on ebay. On the other hand there's a whole building forum devoted to building your own: http://www.theecto1.com/forum/index.php When I worked on the Sony lot they had an Ecto-1 also (Sony/Columbia is the current US distributor) – I used to sit in my boss’s office and stare at it.

It was pretty beat up and filthy, and the license plate still had stuck to it, amazingly, whatever it was they used to simulate marshmallow goo. But who knows how many of these vehicle they needed? Most movies use at least a few of the same car, right? When I was a kid I saw what I assumed to be the “original” parked, a few times, near the corner of Vantage and Valleyheart in North Hollywood.

This was owned by Universal Studios theme park. I've seen the park "actors" drive it around. This is probably just a replica made for the park. I'm sure the real one is owned by a collector somewhere. Actually, I seriously doubt this is the “original” car used in the movie. This was owned by Universal Studios theme park.
