There’s more room to maneuver in a hearse…

Today: A Cadillac XTS Hearse. If the Ghostbusters were on a mission today, would this be the new Ectomobile?

For comparison, the original Ectomobile from the 1984 movie, the Ecto-1, was a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75 Hearse. It was a 25-year old car. Some would call it the ultimate road trip car.

Almost 40 years ago, people!
