As the images from the London Movie Comic & Media Expo start rolling in from Flickr, I couldn’t help but notice the fact that the Ecto-1 on display is not the same as the newly restored original vehicle AJ Quick from GB Fans took photos of earlier this year.

The car looks to be a 1959 Cadillac outfitted from either S&S or Eureka. The original car used in the film was a 1959 Cadillac Combination (Hearse / Ambulance) outfitted by Miller Meteor. As a proud owner of a 1959 Miller Meteor, I can respect Sony’s wishes not to haul the original car around the world, and I think it is great they took the time to build out a great promo car.

The cost to ship my car from Anchorage Alaska to Chicago was a small fortune, I couldn’t imagine shipping it over seas, yikes!

UPDATE: Ghosthead Kingpin has the scoop on the car. It can be found here.
