Chevy Impala in Supernatural..

Anyone who has seen supernatural knows the car, cool as hell black 67 impala 4 door pillarless...

interesting stuff about the cars they use on the series (incidently, filmed in canada!)



Impala


Dean's 1967 Chevrolet Impala features heavily throughout the series.
Throughout the series, Dean drives a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. Having been passed down to him by his father, it is Dean's most prized possession, with actor Jensen Ackles feeling that it is Dean's "life" and "sanctuary".[113] The brothers travel in it throughout the country as they hunt the supernatural, and the trunk holds various weaponry. In the first two seasons, it has a Kansas license plate with the number KAZ 2Y5, a reference to the Winchesters' home state of Kansas, and the series premiere date of 2005.[113] Towards the end of the second season, the car sports a new Ohio license plate (CNK 80Q3) to aid the brothers in hiding from the FBI.[114]
The origins of the Impala were first depicted in the comic mini-series Supernatural: Origins, in which John Winchester takes ownership of the car from Mary's uncle after accidentally getting him killed during a hunt. However, fans responded negatively to this, as John is shown with the Impala in the teaser for the pilot episode, which is chronologically set before the comic series. Due to this, the comic was altered for the trade paperback version,[115] with the Impala's true origins later being depicted in the series' fourth season. Having been sent back to 1973 by the angel Castiel, Dean convinces his father to purchase the Impala over a 1964 VW Van.
All of the cars used in the show are stock 1967 Chevrolet Impalas four-door hardtops. They feature Chevrolet small-block engines, recolored interiors, custom seats, and nonfunctioning radios. Other than the one used in the original, all of the Impalas had to be painted black for the series. One of the Impalas used features a detachable roof and doors for up-close shots, and is capable of being separated in half

my lottery win garage would have a very varied selection of cars,  at all stops, such as a Citroen CX, delorean DMC12, Alfa Romeo 8C, Ferrari 550, Maserati quatroporte, but also something like a chevy impala, a lincoln LSC, a 1970 oldsmobile 442 a TTA, a thirdgen camaro, and probably an SUV such as a tahoe or sububrban.

I'd also love to find a Bricklyn SV-1 but they are rather rare!!

its one of those instances where the car becomes a character in its own right like the bluesmobile or the Starsky Torino or even the sweeny and a granada, the show just woulnt be the same without it

Apparently that's common.

When we were in Canada the guide said it's often to see streets closed for filming as Canada is so similar to the U.S . . . In fact all they have to do is paint the fire-hydrants from yellow to red and yer done !!
