This is the 1967 Chevy Impala (4 door) from the CW show "Supernatural"...as far as Im concerned its the best TV show ever created, it completely owns my soul...and my harddrive...and my bank account
The car belongs to Dean and Sam Winchester played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki...the fans call it Metallicar, which personally Im not very fond of
************Info************
I read this from a fan account, and personally, I like the boys'/crew's names better..
"Apparently each car has a different name. The original is called "Hunter." The newest one is called "The Civilian." There are 5 cars in all."
************
(April 08) From another fan report:
"Hunter" is the original picture car, who has now been retired due to high mileage but they have no plans to part it out.
"Hero" is the current stunt car, who has full protective skid plates underneath and had double brakes (stomp brakes) that control the front and rear brakes seperately and allowed them to do the 180o spin in the episode Croatoan. It's also the car that Sam and Dean work on at the end of Fresh Blood
"Civilian" is the current picture car.
Also due to a director's decision who will remain nameless (I'm just a tad bit PISSED grrr) the spotlights were all ordered to be removed. *wipes tear*
************
From the 2007 San Diego Comic Con: Jensen was asked by a fan what kind of engines they had in the Impalas (they have at least 5 or 6 that they use for different types of shots) He said...
"We have a 427 in one I know, that's the biggest one we've got, that's the stunt one, we've got some hydraulic brakes, we've got skid plates on that one, we've got some stabilizing bars underneath it, and then we have a few others that are just kinda picture cars, that you know, run, but none of them feel as good as that one."
****************************
and yes, I know its not really MY car, so I really have no business making it a page...but you know what, I soooo plan on owning one one day so...oh well...plus, I mean come on, you know its gorgeous...
oh yea, and watch Supernatural *Thursdays on the CW* you wont regret it ;)

Screencaps...
come on, you know that's the sexiest ass on tv...
and here is a shot (from the episode Fresh Blood) of "Hero"'s engine...I THINK that that is a Holly Off-Road Truck Avenger carb...but that's just me guessing
***I don't claim to own anything here. All the pictures I swiped off the internet in different places. I unfortunately do not know the guys, have met them, seen the car or even been to the set...although if I have my way I one day will ;)***
These lil babies I DO own though :D
using my crazy Lyman art student skills, the chrome trim is actually aluminum body tape, it DOES have the KAZ2Y5 plates, I thought about adding the spotlights but honestly im not sure how I would do it, if I ever come up with an idea they might be added....and *hehe* the bumper guards (since this is a 2dr ss not a 4dr) are made from coin rolls covered in body tape....what? *looks innocent*
and both the Impala and the Sierra on their pedestal *cough*dvd player*cough* with my shotglasses
