You were expecting maybe a Prius? It appears that the female parapsychologists in the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot will be getting a retro ride, just as their mid-’80s forebears did. Director Paul Feig tweeted a photo tonight of the new Ecto-1, which has no shortage of sirens and whistles like the tricked-out ’59 Caddy ambulance from the originals.
