9. Ghostbuster’s Ecto-1

The car that the Ghostbusters used to travel throughout New York City busting ghosts was originally a 1959 Cadillac ambulance/hearse with end loader variety. In the movie, Dr. Ray Stantz finds the vehicle shortly after mortgaging his mother’s home to buy their headquarters, the rundown firehouse. He purchased the car for $4,800 and restored it, adding the now famous sirens, lights, and logos. The car was able to fit the entire crew, their bulky proton packs, and various other ghost busting tools. The Caddy became a popular symbol of both blockbuster movies. Now that the franchise is being resurrected, it is unclear if Ecto-1 will be brought back to life with it or if we will see another car given its turn.
