i just had a look on ebay.com and there were a few hearses on there TT
There's about 4 or 5 different styles of 59 Caddy combo car - they weren't made by Cadillac, they were made by custom coachbuilders. The "Ghostbusters" car style was made by Miller-Meteor, and is the rarest and most desirable if I recall right, since that style has been in a couple of films aside from Ghostbusters, and I think people generally prefer the look of that one.
There are a few out there, most are beyond repair, the good ones go for $25,000 + and beyond. Resto costs are obviously way more - things like the glass will cost you an arm and a leg.
The 60-62 cars are much much more reasonable, and while not quite as wild as the 59, are still pretty stylish. You get fins and chrome, at any rate. Some come with the hi-top roofs, some are the classical limo style. You can nab an unloved but restorable early 60's car for sub $6k. After the mid 60s they start getting squared off and go to the worst kind of 70s styling.
For the GB stuff, you can expect to spend another $5-10k tracking down the correct fixtures and fittings, sirens, etc. God knows how much you'd have to spend to nail the interior fittings, that would all be custom work. Because of the nature of where most of the stuff comes from, the GB stuff is damned pricey. If you're interested in Ghostbusters stuff:

well i shouldnt say this but i do have a great replica with lights and sounds of a proton pack and a uniform from vegas there all quite screen acruate but not quite it ll do me and any one who can just rember the film wont know anyway
but besides the point the car is just a great looking thing on its own if i could get one it would be my only car i would use it daily thats for sure
as long as its m o t able i wont mind but pref the ghostbusters car shape and style is best without all the gizmos and gadgets on it just a nice strait car will do red or white or black not bothered
its the big fins and crome that count i always loved that car even before ghostbusters came out i just love motors ex kitt and the delorean brill sttuff
i love it
Matt, I wasn't expecting professional, better than movie quality replicas of the original movie pieces. IMPRESSIVE
When I was younger, I would have sold my grandmother to have one of these!!!
