    The1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Futura Duplex Ambulance used in the Ghostbusters movies was recently restored to mint condition.

    Ecto1 (also known as the Ectomobile)

    The 59' Caddy has become even more popular with collectors than the 1962 cream-colored Ford Ambulance which transported Harvey Oswald to Parkman Hospital in 1963

    That is awesome! I bet this was popular in Asia :)

    My parents got suckered into buying a Subaru way back in '73. It was a P.O.S. The doors and floor rusted out within a year. Dad basically gave it away as being "unsafe at any speed."

    They have improved.

    Same thing happened to two Toyotas we had from the same era.

    I jacked up the front end one day and the frame separated under the firewall on both cars. (At different times) I welded them back together. Took longer than a year though.

    oddly enough, 64 dasun pickup, purchased in 67, was the best vehicle my dad ever had. also his first. car thype cars are designed to be crap no matter who makes them, pickups and vans are generally designed to be useful. no doubt of course, there are exceptions to everything.

    those odd little british compact things are cool looking, still rather have a pickup or better yet a van.
    the s-cargo (italian i think it was) was cool for its funkiness.
    or a pickup, about a 53 chevy/gmc, with a topper, pulling a teardrop. forest green and aluminum.
    or a 70s datsun (pickup) or 80s e-10 minivan, cargo type though, not bus type.

    the e-10 was by nissan(/datsun) sometime around 82 or since, not imported to u.s. until 84 or 86,
    pretty sure the s-cargo was european. (unless there was maybe more then one maker who used that name. about the same time as mini-vans became a thing, but looking nothing like them.
    the one i'm thinking of looked kind of like the front of a volkswagon bug, spliced to one piece that looked like a pickup bed with a shell over it. total funkiness)
    but then i do occasionally find myself to have switched parallel universes so i suppose anything's possible.
