Can someone tell me what ecto was before the Ghostbusters got it? It looks like a hears because its black and had those curtains. But it also had a siren and lights. Was it used for both? Ive read about it on here and it seems that model was a limo/hearse/ambulance. Just kinda wondering about any backstory that might go to it either in the gb universe or reality. What was ecto used for?

"All right, you fools. You've brought it on yourselves! Everything would have come right if you'd only left me alone. You've driven me near madness with your peering through the keyholes and gaping through the curtains. And now you'll suffer for it! You're crazy to know who I am, aren't you? All right! I'LL SHOW YOU!!!!!"

It was a multi-purpose vehicle. Rollers on the floor in the back for caskets or stretchers, with flip-up jumpseats for early paramedics. This was very common for professional cars made before the mid-70s.

You tell 'em I'm postin'! And Hell's postin' with me!
