Supernatural is an American dark fantasy television series created by Eric Kripke. It was first broadcast on September 13, 2005, on The WB, and subsequently became part of successor The CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the two brothers as they hunt demons, ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural beings. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision. Along with Kripke, executive producers have been McG, Robert Singer, Phil Sgriccia, Sera Gamble, Jeremy Carver, John Shiban, Ben Edlund and Adam Glass. Former executive producer and director Kim Manners died of lung cancer during production of the fourth season.
The series is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally, Kripke planned the series for three seasons but later expanded it to five. The fifth season concluded the series' main storyline, and Kripke departed the series as showrunner.[4] The series has continued on for several more seasons with new showrunners, including Sera Gamble, Jeremy Carver, Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb.[5] With its eleventh season, Supernatural became the longest-running American live-action fantasy TV series.
Throughout the series, Dean drives a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala which he refers to as "Baby." Having been passed down to him by his father (John), it is Dean's most prized possession, with actor Jensen Ackles feeling it is Dean's "life" and "sanctuary".[167] The brothers travel in it throughout the country as they hunt the supernatural, and the trunk holds various weaponry and their fake IDs. 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.[167] 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.[168]
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. Because of this, the comic was altered for the trade paperback version,[169] 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. The car's origins were further explored during the season five finale, in which a frame story surrounded the plot of the episode tracking the Impala's history from its manufacture, through several previous owners, up until the present day. According to Chuck Shurley, the brothers have "made it their own", and they are shown as kids sticking an army man into an ash tray that remains there (Sam), putting blocks into the heating vents (Dean) and carving their initials into the car. The Impala later proves important when seeing the old army man allows Sam to overpower Lucifer during the final confrontation. According to Chuck, as they have the Impala, the Winchesters never consider themselves truly homeless. In the seventh season, after two Leviathans go on a killing spree in an identical Impala, Sam and Dean are forced to put the car into storage and use various other cars as they are too identifiable with the Impala. Dean later pulls it out of storage to confront Dick and has the demon Meg crash it into Sucrocorp to create a distraction. Starting in season 8, Sam and Dean are once again using the Impala as their car. The Impala was stolen by the angel Gadreel while possessing Sam, once again forcing Dean to use a stolen car, but it was quickly recovered and proved instrumental in tracking down the rogue angel.
All of the cars used in the show are stock 1967 Chevrolet Impala 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.
Hi Chris, I've been having a great fun afternoon today building one of my 2 Supernatural Impala kits while watching your Supernatural video. It will be a gift for my daughter who is a huge Supernatural fan. She has no clue it will be in the mail to her. Couldn't resist sharing with you.
Wow i learned so many tricks i never even THOUGHT about doing. Well done
I really REALLY wish that more kits came with the separate frame for those vehicles that actually had them and weren't unibody. It just makes for a much nicer and more detailed model when finished.
I agree. Never really like the kits with the frame, exhaust and suspension pre molded in the chassis. Always a blast building the frame
YES! indeed.
Chris is the Dean of miniature automobile builders.
Just wanted to thank you for all the tips and reviews, especially the introductions to Frog Tape (Delicate Surface) and Molotow Chrome Pens.
Used them both last night for the very first time and made what used be difficult very easy and satisfying.
Thanks again!
Glad you like them!
A lot of possibilities with this kit too....
Like not putting a engine it because it's supernatural lol
like to see some resin companies bring out some gm land yacht variants based on that chassis( like an electra 225)
I have learned soo many techniques from watching your videos for a couple years now. 1 of the biggest that had made things much easier is using craft paints instead of enamels all the time because the craft paints are soo much easier to clean up and faster jumping from 1 paint to the next. Thank you Thank you
That is awesome!
As a child we lived 1/4 mile from a junk yard. One Sunday evening we took a hood from the junkyard to use as a sled no we didn't ask permission first the next morning the junkyard owner found our footprints in the snow he followed them the whole way to our house. We got in some trouble with our parents for taking the hood. hell we were only around 10 years old. Once the owner found out we were just kids he didn't care he hooked the hood to his 4 wheeler pulled us all over the place. Playing hide and seek in a junkyard is awesome as a child.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB !!!! Thank you very much for sharing your builds, ideas, tips, and techniques. Everyone keep yourself, family, and friends safe and healthy.
Without a doubt, this is your best "build/review" ever! If there were an "EMMY" type of award for this media, a sure fire winner!
Thanks man!
I was reminded that there was a 1967 Chevy 4-door in the TV series "The A-Team". Might be a nice project for those who choose to accept it!
Nice!
I just finished a 1967 caprice based a on this supernatural kit. It turned out excellent. Added vinyl roof, fender skirts, whitewall tires, c-hubcaps and caprice taillights. The real coup was the white backup lights only unique to the caprice. Excellent kit.
Never thought of trying floor polish over bare plastic. Thanks brother
No problem 👍
I have never seen the show but I have been waiting for you to do this kit because it's 1 of the best years for the Impala and it's 4 DOOR !!!! Most hot rodders don't care much for 4 doors but for the 60s Impala either 2 or 4 door is awesome
Lime a modern dodge charger
Thanks Teddy!
Pretty.
Thanks!
One of my favorite syfy shows. The Winchesters!
😁👍
That show cornered the market on hot broads.
Nice build review. Lots of possibilities with this awesome kit. The first thing that comes to mind is to get this kit and the Impala fire chief and build this kit as the fire chief’s car, and “ hot rod” the 2 door.
Good call!
Another Masterpiece Chris, I'm Waiting for Mine to Arrive anytime Now From R 2, gonna Build it For My Daughter. God Bless All.
Enjoy it!
I have my baby love this kit and car big 67 Chevy Impala fan big supernatural fan great video and thank you for the silver sharpie tip worked perfect
Right on!
Your slide show photos at the end
make the model look like the real deal.
Thanks a lot! Happy Thanksgiving!
Another nice build, lots of detail.
I'm glad you like it!
It's about time there making 4 door models very glad to see this kit hopefully more 4 door kits is on the way
This is a must have kit.😀
Thanks for watching!
Thanks sooo much for the review Chris! So impressed I was how the body looks on this, I went ahead and ordered the kit while the vid was playing. ☺️
I’m glad Round2 fixed the rear fenders on this four door....not quite correct on the coupe. I’d like to build mine just as I remember it as a little kid when this was new. Nice new family grocery getter, and I’m fortunate I do have the stock wheel covers for this one.
Thanks again for the great review.....she looks mighty sharp! 👍🏻
Glad I could help!
Your silver sharpie skills are level 1000! I can never get my window trim looking so good.
You can do it! I build so much and I STILL slip all the time. LOL
What a sharp looking car. Thanks
Glad you like it!
I watched the entire series of of Supernatural and I love this car! Before the show I never cared for 4 doors cars. But since then I have realised how sharp a 4 door can be. It doesnt hurt that this is Chevys best model for the Impala. 😂
That is a nice looking kit! Even if you are not a Supernatural fan.
It is!
I just received mine today, and will be doing it the same way. Turned out incredible Chris.
Thank you! Cheers!
Mine arrived 2 days ago. Ordered in February. It was a long wait but worth it.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Chris this turned out really gorgeous.i really like the cars from the late 60s and early 70s and this is one of my favourites.
Thanks again Chris & have good weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to finally have a four door for once!
I agree!
Perfect timing. My daughter is a huge fan of the show and has been binge watching it during our current shutdown. Her birthday is on the 4th of July and will be following your process as a gift to her. Thanks!
That is awesome!
Another huge hit Chris beautiful build stay strong safe and healthy
Thanks man!
Nice car. Supernatural is a good show. This Impala is like the Batmobile. Or Knight Rider. I love show themed vehicles. I would love the Jeep pickup from "Tremors" as a kit too. Chevy hit the mark with their Impala's. I had higher hopes for the grill but, it is what it is. A must have kit for the tv show collector. Should be a big seller.
That would be cool! I adore Tremors and a Val&Earl truck would rock!
She looks Spiritually Beautiful. Great Job. 💀
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
That came out really nice without the body painted. The Future did a great job with the shine. Awesome car. Used to watch the show years ago. 👍
Beautiful
Cool let go out and kill some demons great looking car great job as always Chris this is a got to have kit👍
Thanks for watching!
You're right, "everyone wants to build a 4-door basic sedan". I think that's partly why the '63 Chevy II Nova wagon model is popular.
I'm not sure why, but every time I watch these videos I am motivated to get off the computer afterwords and go work on my own models.
That's the point, go have fun with a kit, any kit!
I have had the original two door 67 Impala since 1997 and that's a beautiful kit. Glad to see this one looks just as well detailed. May have to get it!
Glad you like it!
Who says a 4 door can't be cool? Great build as always! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I love the ModPodge, I bought a big container of it for $2 and it is awesome for so many things. I hardly ever use my testors clear glass glue.
I like it for sure!
I’ve got two of these kits on the way. One to build, one to shelf. I’m gonna make it super realistic with sponge applied spots of rust paint on the frame and suspension parts. It is after all a Midwest car. Lol
The 67 Impala and Chevelle are 2 of the nicest body styles . I'll have to build one. Thanks.
Superb build! Well done..... and a belated Happy Birthday!
Thank you very much!
Good job like always looks like the real car
Thanks John!
Beautiful build Chris
Thank you kindly!
I just got this kit through Model Roundup and between this, my resin '67 Caprice body, and a bunch of '67 SS Impala kits I want to order a couple more so I can kitbash and create a few creations of my own
Thanks for watching!
I was hoping for this review build- answered my questions about the kit. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
A FABULOUS job on the build!!.. Looks like it's all ready to cruise the Boulevard!! .. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Thanks a bunch!
Very Nicely Done Chris " whatcha gonna do when they're coming for you, you supernatural beings "
Thanks for watching!
Great build up ! Now I can't wait to get started with my own build !!!
😇👍🏼
Have fun!
Chris, You mentioned in the video that the rear seat was a "new tool'. In actuality, the front seat is the "new tool" and it doesn't match the "original" two door SS kit. In addition, the transmission in the 1:1 car was an automatic not a manual as depicted in the kit. I realize that this isn't any of your fault and R2 should have paid more attention to these minor details. I just opened my kit and discovered that it was missing the front seat entirely. Your build of this kit turned out super! Thanks for doing this review.
My most favorite show of all time. I have two ordered.
Thanks for watching!
My daughter loves Supernatural. She's been to a couple of conventions they had for the show and has a die cast of the car. I should get one just because I love Impalas.
Do it! A special build for your special young lady! They always mean so much more and they remember the work you did!
Another great build. Gonna have to pick this kit up if there are any left.
I'm sure there will be plenty to go around. Enjoy!
You've been a great little reference for me putting together my kits over the years just started my kit of the supernatural impala they should have molded the trunk so you can use the decal
Thank you you got me doing models again
No problem!
A very impressively detailed Kit...
An excellent model that was a long time coming. You did a superb job building it! About the only thing that I could wish is that they would have included some 'accessories' to dress-up the model; say an in-scale Colt revolver or the First Blade. (Hopefully, these - as well as figures of Sam and Dean - will be available, aftermarket.) Thanks for posting this!
"Eat it, Twilight . . . ."
Thanks for watching!
I love this car
So do I!
OMG . SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Looks like a metal kit !
Just great 👍.
Mike Espo .
Thanks man!
Superb kit, great job Chris 👍
Glad you like it!
Great looking build Chris. Love the 4 door wish there was more model kits in 4 door. Have a great weekend Chris
You and me both! Thanks for watching!
Excellent build and review Chris! I have been waiting for this release & I'm glad it's here!! I'm going to build a more door drag car.
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice job on the small fine details...
Thank you! Cheers!
Unreal, paint an chrome Shine Shine!
Great show and so many tips from just watching.
Beauty Hpi.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is an outstanding job sir my daughter and i both want to build this and i am currently looking to get a 67 impala for her lol
Thanks for watching!
I'm planning on building mine to be a showroom stock brand new Impala right off the Chevy assembly line 😎
Nice!
i just love my silver sharpie. i dont even bother to use the molotow pen anymore
I like mine, works well and dries fast!
Nice job as always got to get that kit cause I’ve learned to drive on that Chevy it was dark green with a beige interior.
Very cool!
Great build Chris....mine is in the mail.
Right on!
Looks super.....and very natural.
Ha !
Awesome as always dude
Thanks a ton Gary!
Excellent build! This would make a good cop car since it’s a four door.
Thanks for watching!
Love the show and Baby is a main cast member, must get this kit, great build as always, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just bought this one today, cant wait to get started! Nice job as always!
Have fun!
I just ordered mine and I’m doing exactly how you did it cause it looks sooooo amazing and it’s my first kit doing so why not do it and learn from a master like yourself
Thanks for watching!
Hello from the west coast of Canada , I've been watching and really enjoying your reviews I went and bought myself four kits three AMT one Revell all Fords AMT 40 Ford coupe , AMT 34 Ford pickup , AMT 41 Ford custom woody wagon and a Revell 48 Ford police coupe , Í 'm very impressed by your building skills especially when you weather and distress the finish on your builds , I'm in my sixties and I'm an artist and I am exited to try out some weathering techniques on my builds , I had the 34 Ford pickup kit when I was young , this is a great trip down memory lane , great stuff !
Thanks Ed!
@@hpiguy You're welcome , I also bought myself a miniature book store a very highly detailed model of a used book store very labour intensive but very high quality .
The picture with Red Owl was awesome. Well done!
I picked up a bunch of Menards train models and hope to add more fun pics!
I'd be saving the open heads to do a diorama.
Wow! This came out beautifully. Fun fact about the interior. The crew requested the seats be black to make it easier to shoot interior scenes in the car, which is why the seats never matched the interior.
Thanks for the info!
Another great build review Chris! My second one just arrived today! Yours turned out great with the molded body color!
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
Love the build. Definitely getting a couple of these.
Glad you like them!
Nice! I wish there were more four door kits out there, there's definitely a demand for them.
You and me both!
Apparently not. I've had this argument with people on model forums when I've asked why don't they make more 4 doors and 70's cars ? I'm always told because theres not enough demand for them. They're not as appealing. I don't think thats true. 70's, 80's cars are becoming more in demand. I mean look how much the diecast scene is making.
@@v8cool231 Hopefully the demand will grow. There is a lot of cool potential with four door kits. Taxis and Police cars of different states, undercover squad cars and just your everyday beat up runaround. I had fun recently building a 1970 Ford Galaxie as a San Francisco Yellow Cab.
@@morrismckinnon6047 Well the poeple who say this don't seem to realise there is a world outside of the USA. And it seems AMT and Revell don't either. The love for US 4 door/stationwagons etc from the 70's and 80's is massive herein europe. To say theres no potential is crap.
Police cars, taxi's , lowriders.
@@v8cool231 Definitely, couldn't agree more. I'd like to do the Coroner car from the TV show "Quincy" but I don't think there is a Ford LTD station wagon available.
That is a sweet looking impala I've seen that show at a friend's house i would like to by that kit stay safe and healthy
Thanks for watching!
Another great build as always love the detail work you always put into your kit. Hopefully mine arrives soon just picked one up. But I need to finish my olds fe3x first. Been taking awhile maybe when I get off work in the morning.
Awesome, thank you!
Cannot wait until these kits are in Canada! Great video.
Have fun!
First time building anything like this and am a little scared lol. Will be building this in stages. Massive fan of the show and cannot wait! Recently got this on a trip to the States (UK based) so we don't get this model kit over here.
Wonderful video, great tips. Just ordered one for my wife.
Good choice!
I think that your next review build is the AMT Dodge Viper GTS COUP kit #8055. It has 1 of the most amazing detailed parts and has a ton of parts. It is an absolutely beautiful kit.
I do like the way you sand down the tires. One other thing I do is use a black wash over the tire after the sanding. I use an oil base wash. In my opinion it make the tires look more realistic. They look more like worn tires then just sanded.
Thanks for the tip!
@@hpiguy Anytime.
Holy cow Chris,u amazed me every time
Thanks for watching!
There should have been a classic radio rock soundtrack on this one in keeping with the show.
Great build of a great looking car. Well done. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Another amazing build and video. I must admit I never heard of the TV show or when it aired. I like the separate frame and interior. Again excellent build and video. Thanks again Chris.👍👍
Thank you very much!
Keep up the good work! Greetz from germany
Thank you very much!
About time for a real car to be done. A 4 door thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Une belle parmi les belles ...Congrest !!...
