The Cadillac Commercial Chassis is a chassis that was built by the Cadillac division of General Motors. Produced from 1931 to 1979, the Commercial Chassis was constructed as an incomplete vehicle intended for use by coachbuilders for final assembly and fitment of bodywork. Produced on the D platform (exclusive to Cadillac) throughout its entire production, the Commercial Chassis was initially derived from the Series 355, shifting to the Series 75 from 1936 onward.
Coinciding with a change in design regulations and the downsizing of Cadillac sedans, the Commercial Chassis was phased out as a distinct product line. The professional car basis would be continued by the Series 75 and successor flagship Cadillac sedans to current production.
The Cadillac Commercial Chassis is a variant of the GM D-body specifically developed for professional car use; most applications included funeral coaches (hearses), ambulances, and combination cars. In contrast to the Cadillac 75 (a factory-built limousine), the Commercial Chassis was designed with a heavier-duty frame; to improve access to the rear cargo area, the rear frame rails were positioned lower than a standard D-body.
Produced by Cadillac as an "incomplete vehicle", the rolling chassis was fitted with no bodywork aft of the dashboard. While fitted with all road controls and front body trim (and air conditioning, if specified), all bodywork from the dashboard rearward was completed by coachbuilders using the chassis as a basis for a completed vehicle; to aid body fabrication, front door shells and rear quarter panels were shipped to the coachbuilders (separate from the chassis).
Before World War II, the Commercial Chassis used the longest wheelbase of any GM sedan-based vehicle, ranging up to 165 inches in 1940. During the 1950s and 1960s, the chassis used a 156-inch wheelbase, with the 1971-1976 chassis reaching a 157.5-inch length. The powertrain was shared with the Series 75 through its entire production.
The Ectomobile is a fictional vehicle from the Ghostbusters franchise. It appears in the films Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II (1989), the remake Ghostbusters (2016), Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), in the animated television series: The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer! and Extreme Ghostbusters, and in the video games Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Beeline's Ghostbusters.

I am so glad that Round 2 brought this kit back, but I would love it if it was released as a full kit with a 500 ci Cadillac engine. Maybe as a low rider. Now, wouldn’t be really cool.
Even better... The hearse. Instead of the ambulance. With doors that open... And the coffin.
I keep trying to watch other model related channels and yours is the only one I can watch, something about your videos just blows the rest away, please keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌
That's because he puts the focus on the kits and not himself.
@@13Dixiefried Exactly.
Thanks, very nice of you!
There's lots of channels and everyone can find their niche, it's great!
I have the same reaction to the other channels. They keep repeating the same senseless things over and over.
Stig Svanberg,Sollefteå,Sweden: Very interesting watching you weathering. It's like piece of art.
For time being I'm building the "Shell Welder",an original Frog model from 1964,that I'm painting rust on.
hello hello! LOVE this build. I had to buy the kit after watching the video. For the rusting that you did with Oilbrusher, I'm guessing it is the "Rust" Oilbrusher? Also what brush/sponge tool were you using to swipe it down? Thank you!
I was thinking it might be a Tamiya weathering sponge but it has a different color handle.
enjoy watching your builds. I like seeing what other ways builders put their kits together.
Thanks, much appreciated!
In the July, 1994 edition of Car Modeler Magazine, there was an article by Larry Gabor called, "Pickup With A Purpose" which showed how to construct a phantom Cadillac shop pickup truck using the Ecto 1A kit. It was VERY easy to modify this Cadillac kit, because the article contains the necessary templates. Now that the former Ecto 1-A has been re-released, I plan to build another one !
Thank you for sharing such a cool build that just about anyone can build
Thank you very much!
With those sharks mouths. P-40 not P-51. Great build!!!
Weird, someone should tell these vets they were wrong then...
www.aircorpsart.com/blog/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly-aircraft-mouth-nose-art/
Thanks for the nice words!
Other than the Testors silver,what .if any Testors colors do you use regularly ?
Brass, copper, steel, titanium, browns, reds, etc. Anything I need to, I have quite a few.
This is a FUN kit for anyone!! 👍😉👍
It is!
This is exciting! I have that kit, which I still need to build. I love Cadillac wagons. I just subscribed to your channel. 👍👍👍👍
100% kudos on this Caddy build Chris! Outstanding choices of paint and weathering. Love it!
Ah, I knew it couldn't be a coincidence that this model just so happened to be a 59 ;)
You might have sold me on this one. It's on shelves at Walmart right now and it caught my eye, but the box photography and paint job did not give a good impression. Now your rust, that's what the box should have looked like!
Nice job as always Chris. It reminds me of the old Johan Cadillac Hearse surf wagon model from many years ago.
Thank you very much!
That's basically the ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, same type of car
Just got one from ollies 12.99 can't wait to do mine, I wanna do a slammed drag/rat rod can't wait
Happy New Year Chris! I started my first new build for 2022 yesterday. It’s the Suyata 1/48 T-90 and Gaz-233014 armored car.
Thank you very much!
I got one last week and I'm planning on making a hearse even though I was told this wasnt a hearse it was strictly a ambulance cause a hearse didn't have the last two windows it had metal there with the s handle thing
Happy New year to you my friend...
Happy new year!
Wanted to see how you built yours I picked one up a couple months ago and don’t know how I want to age it yet it was a I got to have model kit
Waitaminute....Isn't that the model car they made into Ecto-1?
Ad usual great vid. Jist fiiished that kit myself. Bravo
Very cool rendition. Love it. Happy New Year Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely amazing.! Perfect!
It would of been fun to make it an ecto 1 themed surf wagon
Hi Chris, firstly I wish you a Happy New Year, hope all goes well for you, that was a fantastic build of the ambulanc, nice to see it put to a good use, will you ever build the same kit as a actual ambulance? It reminds me of the very old TV series Dr Kildaire, take care and keep safe.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Can one build this as a standard Cadillac ambulance?
Cool always cool stuff always thanks 😎 👌 👍
What are the paints you used to weather in rust look
Fit issues with the rear bumper / taillights ??
Awesome Chris! I wish I had abit of your talent mate! Have a great end of week buddy 😉👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Remember the infomercial for the spraypaint hair for covering bald spots? Make a cool exterior color!
LOL, I remember the scalp spray paint, yes.
Can one build this as a standard ambulance?
In the weathered catagorie at the last show I went to.
Great build happy new year from ABERDEEN SCOTLAND
Thank you very much!
THIS IS OUTSTANDING!!!
That's the sickest Cadillac on internet!
Happy New Year Chris.
Thanks, enjoy!
Saw it in WalMart today for $24.99
I'll be starting this one today.
Now this is how you kick off the new year! This has got to be my favorite build of yours so far! Loved it! Thank you and Happy New Year!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Still 2021 in the final watermark 😉 happy new year 😊
Yes, because the video and others yet to air were produced in 2021.
The first video to be produced in 2022 will say so.
What is good way to straighten a model car body with a little bit of a twist
Soak in hot tap water, keep bending it back into place, dip in very cold water and hold.
Repeat over and over and it may come out.
I made mine an ecto 1
Looked like you were building an A-10 LOL.
Yeah, that too!
Awesome sauce em’, haha, seriously though, mighty fine bud!
Thanks, much appreciated!
@@hpiguy - yeah man, no problem, YW!
A masterclass in weathering , great build Chris
Glad you enjoyed it Ian!
This is something I would build different variations of. The possibilities are endless! Great job Chris
Thanks!
But your wearing lederhosen cha I'm Olga from Sweden
An absolute classic always wished we got a part III that was hinted at in Coming to America when Don Ameche finds the bag of money rooting through the trash "Mortimer!! We're back"
Beef Jerky Time!
can i ask why u didnt do ghost busters
LOL, you mean aside from the fact that this kit does not have any of the Ecto-1 parts needed, nor does it have the decals like I mention?
I've also built an Ecto-1 on the channel previously...
Hey, I’m number 666 as far as Likes.
Love these funky builds. Back in the early 1990s my old punk band had a mid-60s Oldsmobile hearse that we bought for $550. It was19 feet long and a really comfortable ride and we'd take turns sleeping in the back. We never had problems with storing gear and it always wreaked of pot, dirty laundry and formaldehyde.
LOL, cool!
You should make a Lowrider 😎
I should make my models my way, as you should make your models your way.
Feel free to browse the channel home page to see some lowriders I've built.
Nice build! It may show up as a dislike. Disregard. Screen wasn't in the right place. Happy New Year again!. Thumbs up!
You can always just go back and click the thumbs up, it reverses. Thanks!
I haven't done a model in over 30 years. I searched level 2 models and the 59' surf Caddy came up and I knew it was meant to be. I then stumbled upon your channel (subscribed) and can only hope mine turns out half as good as yours good sir. I also ordered the Rust colored Oilbrusher after watching this. You gained a new subscriber and fan today!
Very cool!
I like it, great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
2022 and another great kit. This is going to be a fun year in model making. Thinking of making a full Ambulance of my kit. We'll see. Happy New 22.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Because of work and family obligations I have fallen behind on your videos. I woke up very early this morning and have been having an hpiguy marathon! Talk about getting my model building juices flowing!
Welcome back!
Happy new year Chris!! I used to be an anti-curbside kit snob. Your channel changed my views of them. One of my favorite builds I’ve done is the AMT snap General Lee. With a little work, it builds into a better kit then the past glue kits. I’m seriously considering this kit as well. I like that it has straight up Ambulance options.
Thanks, we miss out when we think a kit has nothing to offer, hence why I show all types from beginner snaps to complex resin! :)
Was on the fence with this version but now might be a future pick up. interesting how they went with Ecto1-A's rear bumper with the custom diamond plating. I'd leave off the roof lights they look too much like hood scoops haven't seen lights that quite look like them before. Other than that good work as always.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I can't wait to get my hands on this kit.
Enjoy!
a GOTTA HAVE, i built the ecto into a cool cruiser a few years ago, saw this was coming out, roof holes easy to fix on this one
and no holes on side of the body for the ecto plasma machine,
great looking patina on that, i gotta do a couple more
Thank you very much!
merry new year !!!!! to all
You too!
What a great video for those less experienced modelers to what. To see its doesn't have to be difficult to weather up a vehicle....Good way to start off the new year.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome presentation Chris! Happy New Year! I have this kit on backorder and am looking forward to building this kit!😊
Thank you very much!
LOOKS AAMMAAZZZZIINNGG
Thank you very much!
You can use the model to build a great variety of different versions. And add many scratch build parts to it.
Yup!
Superbe ! Bravo et merci pour ce tutoriel vraiment Top! 👏👏👏
I'm planning on filling in the back side glass and the corner glass at the rear to turn this into a hearse. I was working on one years ago that my kid knocked off the table and shattered.
Great build as always.
Thank you very much!
Than he for another great review Chris. Did my first ruster using your techniques and took 1st
Nice work!
A simple cool kit to build getting this thanks for sharing looks great I'm going with amt wide whites
Good choice!
Love the Miller Meteor ☠
Thanks, enjoy!
Great job, weathering turned out awesome. I enjoyed watching thanks Chris.
Awesome, thank you!
Merry New Year!
Love this kit can't wait to get my hands on it
Happy new year!!
With your paint scheme... I first think... "Charlie don't surf." From Apocalypse Now.
Huey pilot came home from Vietnam bought a used ambulance and found his Zen on the waves.
Great build as always!
Could be! Always fun to add a story to it!
@@hpiguy you gave me the idea to add a story while I build. Adds to the fun.
Always like the stories you have for your build. Great job.
Glad you like them!
Happy New Year Chris.May your model building be great
Thank you very much!
Merry New Year!
Very Cool! Good choice of color!
The deck Ls' are great!
Thank you very much!
The car looks great! Happy new year from Canada!
Thank you very much!
Happy new year Chris,I think you need to edit the hpiguy's workshop at the end of each video you do;so it says hpiguy's workshop 2022,instead of hpiguy's workshop 2021.
Yup, all these videos were made in 2021, the first video made in 2022 will air next weekend. Thanks!
@@hpiguy That's right;you film several days to atleast a week,prior to posting each video;because of the amount of editing,it takes a few days to edit each video.
It makes sense why "the first video of the new year" that was posted yesterday,said hpiguy's workshop 2021at the end of the video;instead of hpiguy's workshop 2022.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
Thank you very much!
Happy New Year.
Thank you very much!
I cannot find that aged metallic Rust spray anywhere!
Sprays are hard to find right now.
Happy new year
Thank you very much!
Allways nice to see your videos
I appreciate that!
Happy new year, Chris, and a lot of kits for 2022 !
Thank you very much!
Awesome build Chris! Love the weathering!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Nice build on this one! I like the weathered paint scheme.
I'm glad you like it
Ecto -1!!
Yup!
Excited for this kit! I think I will build it to look like it did in Ghost Busters when Ray first bought it.
Only $4800!
If you don’t mind me asking, where do you get most of your paint at? Like those Valspar short cans. I’m just wanting more variety.
Nice
Thanks!
Another great build/review Chris. I think I’ll be getting mine soon. Happy New Year!🎆
Thanks, enjoy!
Happy New year
You too!
@@hpiguy thank you
That's a beautiful buildup of a very nice kit! It's interesting to see a Car Modeler using weathering techniques more associated with Armor Modelers. Not every model car needs to shine like it was just washed and waxed for a car show to look good!
As always, thanks for posting your review!
Thank you very much!
Looks awesome, love the weathering ! have you ever weathered the glass as well? like when he lamination separates and it makes "fogging"?
Not yet!
Great model to start out the new year! Utilizing all your talents and producing a great fun to build model. As always looking forward to your next build. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year 🎊 and THANKS.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Chris, I cannot say it strongly enough that you do a great job with your videos. You have many fans who love what you do, including me. Please give us some T-shirts to wear with pride, and some stickers for our model stuff. I know I’ve got a space on my model toolbox waiting for an “hpiguys” sticker.
Glad you like them!
Happy New Year to you. You did another awesome job with the build of the Cadillac ambulance.
Happy new year!
Amazing build great job!!
Thank you very much!
Great build as always! I would love to see them do a stock hearse version of this car with a padded top and the landau irons on the side.
That would be cool!
@@hpiguy Especially if they include a coffin. Custom Vampire Van, anyone . . . ?
That is one of the coolest builds I have ever see n. Awesome 😎
Wow, thanks!
HAPPY NEW YEAR BROTHER LOOKING FORWARD TO A FANTASTIC YEAR OF MODEL BUILDS AND REVIEWS
Same to you!
Merry New Year another awesome build up your starting 2022 off just right
Thank you very much!
Love your channel, you are great modeler.
Thank you! 😊
