Legendary machine: "Supernatural" regained popularity Impala

The series "Supernatural" continues to gain popularity. Even those who have never watched a multi-episode tape know who is in the center of the plot, and what kind of car in Supernatural. The painting first appeared on TV screens in 2005, and work on the project continues. Now the creators of history present fans with the twelfth season of the series.

The influence of the series on the popularity of the machine

After in the series "Supernatural" appeared Impala 1967, the car immediately began to enjoy great demand. It is known that before the release of the multi-series car could be purchased for about $ 500, but after the project became popular, the price rose to $ 5000.

Now, in order to become a car owner in good condition, you have to spend more than 16,000 US dollars, but to find a car from the series is almost impossible, because all the models were bought by collectors or fans of the picture.

History of the creation of Impala

Almost in every series of "Supernatural" you can see the car of the main heroes of history. We remind you that the Winchester car - Chevrolet Impala, which was released in 1967. For the first time the name Impala was used in 1956, cars under this name go out now. When the 1967 car of the issue only appeared on sale, it immediately began to be in high demand. However, by the time the premiere of the series was held, the car was not popular.

Model Impala in 1967 and all that came after it, were very changed by the creators. The reason for this was new legislation, according to which manufacturers of cars needed to make their products more safe for the driver and passengers. As a result, the car received a deformable steering column, upholstered instrument panel and repeaters of direction indicators. Impala cars with a closed body also got three-point seat belts .

Production Chevrolet Impala set a world record for sales of models, which for all time failed to beat. According to the latest data, car makers sold more than 13 million cars. The sale was not affected even by the fact that the Impala is a very expensive and not affordable car. "Supernatural" also greatly helped the success of the car, sales of which increased dramatically after the show of the first series of the picture.

Acquisition of the car in the series

According to the series, the first owner of the Winchester car was Sal Moriarty, who bought the car for almost 4000 dollars. Impala, he used to deliver on him the Bible for the poor.

The second owner of the car was a young John Winchester. He is the father of the protagonists of the series, and after they grew up and began to independently hunt the evil spirits, the oldest got a car. "Supernatural" very well showed the history of the acquisition of a car by the Winchester family.

John's decision to buy a car was greatly influenced by the conversation with his son Dean. Castiel helped the boy to travel back in time to prevent something terrible. It was during this trip that Dean met his father, who before talking with him did not think about buying Impala, however, having learned all the qualities of the car, he changed his mind.

Eric Kripke about the Winchester car

A screenwriter named Eric Kripke, who worked on the creation of a multi-series, in an interview told representatives of foreign media that another TV might appear on the show. "Supernatural" now could be associated with fans of the story with brothers Sam and Dean, who travel to the Ford Mustang in 1965.

According to Eric, to change this decision he made a casual conversation with a neighbor. It was he who persuaded the writer to use the Chevrolet Impala, and only 1967 of release. Kripke adds that his acquaintance also said that the car will terrify other drivers who will encounter it at the traffic lights. Also in the trunk of the Impala can easily fit a large number of weapons or even someone's corpse.

The ratio of the main characters to the car

Fans of the series perfectly know how important for the main characters, especially for Dean, their car. "Supernatural" pays much attention to the attitude of the characters to the car.

Because Impala got it from her father, then, of course, she reminds the brothers of him. The car was crashed many times during the children's hunting for evil spirits, but they always restored it. It is known that when Sam was small, he shoved a toy soldier into the car's ashtray, and Dean pushed several details of the Lego designer into ventilation. Despite the fact that the guys have repeatedly restored the car almost from scratch, the soldier and "Lego" are still in their places, because, in the opinion of the guys, they became part of the machine.

An interesting fact is that the fans of Supernatural often worry about the fate of the Chevrolet Impala much more than for the lives of Dean and Sam. The Winchester car was used not only by the fans of the series, but also by all the creators and actors, for whom the car became the third central hero of history.
