I don't know what thread you're in but good ol squad 51 is here and engine 51
C'mon guise!
Engine and Squad 51!
I loved the movie and remember that car, but I never spotted those two EG sirens up on the bar. With all the sounds dubbed in, I don't think I would've ever noticed.1951 Studebaker Champion from the "Batman and Robin" film. It's a AeroVectorC4ic :rotfl:
I agree that it's a Sireno, and that's a C5G siren up front.
Engine 17 is a rebuilt Ward LaFrance pumper.
Of course it counts, but that's not the original Ecto-1. The original had a C5GB siren up behind the Code 3 bar.Screenshot_2014-08-04-18-28-36.pngDoes this count? Ghostbusters
Also had a Model 19 Propelloray up there, too.
That looks a lot like the one my friend Dean Newman in Tucson has. He's had it to a lot of PCS meets and other car shows over the years.
Seeing the "61" on that ambulance tells me that's from the super-good show on NBC, "Chicago Fire" that's unfortunately still in summer hiatus.
I remember that one, when I was all of 8 years old. Skip and Wes...
I've wondered if they used real stations for taping that show. Emergency's episodes were shot at a real, but vacated, station. I had wondered if that was the case with this show. Now I know.
Mine, too, Dan. I was about 13 when that one came out. My friend Joe Ortiz in California leases vintage emergency vehicles to the movie studios. He has the original Rescue 8 panel truck. Got to see it when I was at his place in 2001! You wouldn't believe some of the history he has on his lot.
Gaaaah, at least post a pic of the original car, not that botched Universal Studios clone!Screenshot_2014-08-04-18-28-36.pngDoes this count? Ghostbusters
Forgot about the Dashlaser on the front bumper.....Gaaaah, at least post a pic of the original car, not that botched Universal Studios clone!

That's on Ecto 1A, Ecto 1 has the clear aircraft strobes.
There was also an International Travelall ambulance in movie. It had a four beam rotary beacon on the roof. I couldn't quite make out the light, but it looked like a Federal 184 Power Light.
One of my most favorite movies ever. As many times as I've seen tht movie, I don't think I ever noticed the twin low band whip antennas on the front of the Caddie ambulance.
I remember the big Metro van above, but I don't really remember the TravelAll, and I should, since we had a TravelAll ambulance back about that time.
Who's the dude sitting in the back seat in of Gleason's Sheriff car? Newer saw that before!Gaaaah, at least post a pic of the original car, not that botched Universal Studios clone!

The second one barely got ANY screentime, instead he just rode around on that boring bike. Grr!
S.H.I.E.L.D. Acura from Avengers and the Marvel tv show (photo again by me)
PROMETHEUS Rover
God what a shit movie, though.
Lawmaster from DREDD
DREDD trucks
Screw it, the vehicles in the 90s Dredd were pretty awesome, too!
Warner Bros. had SO MANY vics made for the Nolan BATMAN films.
Hilux from DISTRICT 9
IDIOCRACY had some hilarious GEMcars

The BACK TO THE FUTURE police car was my favorite micromachine as a kid.
The taxis had some fun light stuff going on, too.
There's always SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT!
BLUES BROTHERS 74 Monaco... mmmm
They did that all the time in that show, one minute Hunter would be running a tear drop and the next scene it would be a strobe!
opcorn:
If I remember correctly, what I've heard is that blue was not allowed on medic units at all in California and that it's just been in relatively recent years that blue has been allowed on law enforcement units. Nice looking van either way, though.
I had a nice old '94 Caprice LT1 that had been a cop car and then a taxi and had mega-miles on it when I got it. But it ran well and got good gas mileage.
