The Ectomobile, or “Ecto-1,” from the Ghostbusters franchise, is a modified 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor that served as the iconic mode of transportation for the Ghostbusters team. Cadillac wasn’t always just a high-end luxury car builder. The company also sold family-friendly rides as well. Take one look at the Meteor and you’ll know why. Of course, the Ghostbusters ride was outfitted with all kinds of technology that would make anyone in the 1980s proud (via Quatrell Cadillac).

The base vehicle, a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor, was originally built as a combination car, which could serve both as an ambulance and a hearse. For its role in Ghostbusters, the car was outfitted with a host of fictional paranormal detection and containment equipment, along with the distinctive “No Ghosts” logo.
