    It works on a few levels... try to cross a stream in a Ford and it'll stall and break down in the middle of the steam

    I think it would work a smidge better without the “a”.

    Why did the Ghostbusters use a General Motors ambulance for ECTO1 instead of Ford?

    Because they didn't want to cross streams.

    I actually think it works better with "a" in it because it gets me thinking about a Ford instead of just Ford. It helps my brain with the word play.

    I honestly don't think in needs the counter GM reference because that gets my brain thinking in the realm of cars, and I didn't get why a GM would cross streams.

    So

    Why didn’t the Ghostbusters use a Ford ambulance for ECTO1?

    Because they didn't want to cross streams.
