I'm going to glue my wheels in place so it doesn't roll off..... Just kidding.....
Just fired off a quick message to Blitzway. They said the car doesn't have a wheel lock mechanism and helpfully advised me to place the car on a flat surface.. Thanks blitzway!
Not long now, how great is that police barrier going to look in front of this this, with the Ghostbusters lined up next to it?
I can't quite decide which base I would like better under Ecto, either the red brick from the firehouse, or a shiny black tile...
Also, looking at that dirty chrome on the movie car, I wonder if any collector will be brave enough to weather up their Ecto to be more accurate? I usually don't hesitate to weather up my figures, but I think this is one time where I'll wait and see someone else try it first.

lol! the very idea!.. washing.. the ecto 1?
The crew who modded the original car for the movie did the bare minimum just to get it running and for it to stay running until filming was over. they wouldn't have polished any chrome, which is plain to tell just by looking at it.. and from what they said when it was restored, there were underlying rust issues that were "probably present on the car when they first got it".
I won't be touching mine though, firstly, I can pretend the paint job looks brand spanking new because it was the day Ray re-sprayed it before setting out on their first call.. and who knows the "chrome" might age a bit. I have hot wheels cars where the plastic chrome has aged and looks more like real chrome over time.
