Pretty much what I expected since this movie started rolling. And pretty much what I figured everyone else should be expecting as well.
At best, I was thinking maybe within all the doubtless many GB1 references here and there, they might sneak a quick comment about "Remember when they said the Titanic returned to New York?" or "remember those Statue of Liberty videos?" but that was about it. Expecting much more than that was never going to happen. And why would it, anyway, in a movie with a story that has nothing to do with the events of GB2?
If it was me, though, I'd have the kids discover the busted up, old Ecto-1A, not the Ecto-1 and that could be the big one and only GB2 connection. But that's just me. Because now it's like this weird thing, though we can kind of head canon it. When there were no more ghosts after GB1's cleanup, Egon shuttered the Ecto-1 somewhere for storage. Then when things started popping during GB2, they just made a brand new Ecto out of a new car from scratch. I mean, I guess it DID seem a lot more pristine than the Ecto-1, and not just because of a paint job or anything.
