TEAM FREE WILL: Post apocalyptic legends
Inspired directly by, and made tribute for this AMAZING POST
urufixx:
Tree by Anthony K. on Flickr.
one day, the impala is going to be left somewhere, sam and dean on their way to some kind of battle for the world that they win. they save the world with the sacrifice of their lives, and they leave her behind. black paint, metal and chrome, their home, and she carried them so far.
they’ve long been dead, legends in the minds of those who know the truth. sam and dean who saved the world and never looked back. the impala, who carried them. the impala who sat in a field and waited. the impala who waited for them to come back.
the impala who was left alone.
she’s beyond old by the time a tree begins to grow underneath her hood. twenty years before it breaks through, another twenty before it swells, branches out, becomes a thing worthy of recognizing.
people gather around her. place significance on her.
in a post-apocalyptic world, she’s an icon.
but inside, she’ll always be a husk
waiting for her boys to come back to her.

spoiler stagione 11 
This Baby is one of eight cars used on the series. As you might guess from its pristine condition, it’s the hero car. The Impala pictured is in mostly every shot featuring the car and is used almost every day. [Picture car coordinator Jeff] Budnick said it’s the most mint one he’s seen, and definitely the best of their fleet. When they first purchased it, the car had 12,000 miles. Though Sam and Dean drive it all over the United States chasing monsters, the car only has a modest 15,000 miles now.
Since the Impala is crashed on a regular basis – it got rather wrecked in the recent episode “Baby” – Budnick keeps an eye out for back up cars and parts on online auction sites like craigslist. As he walked us around the Impala, Budnick said, “The last one I bought was in Nebraska, and I drove down there and picked it up from here [here is Vancouver]. It was a two day drive. They’re hard to find because the show has made this car so popular. These cars at one time were five hundred dollar cars because they’re four door and nobody wanted them. But, Supernatural turned this car into an iconic one. Everybody who has one – even if it’s in rough shape, they want five thousand and up for them. So I buy them as soon as I find them, even rough ones for parts because we go through a lot of parts. I have a warehouse just full of Impala parts and cars.”
In case you’re wondering, they do keep the trashed versions of the car. Ackles posted about seeing the Season 1 finale Impala recently, and it’s still around. Budnick said they have a yard where they keep all the wrecks. He mentioned the Season 1 Impala makes an appearance in a bush in the background of Season 11’s third episode, and that he works those car-shaped easter eggs in when he can: “I do that quite a bit. If you actually really look close, you’ll see a lot of stuff. If I have a junkyard scene, you’ll see Impala doors or hoods from the car that were crunched from different episodes we’ve done. I always try to do that.”

This car is “Hero #3” (with the first and second cars being on set the day we visited). Picture Car Coordinator Jeff Budnick is in charge of looking after all of the Impalas on set. SUPERNATURAL has nine of its signature car in total – three “Hero” cars, three stunt cars, a few versions that are wrecked, and a cut-up car. The cup-up car is basically a shell of a car and the roof and doors are all able to come off easily so they “can get different angles” when filming.
Hero #1 has a “big block motor in it, a 502”, while the rest of them have “small block” motors. For example, Hero #3 is not a high-performance car, but it runs fine.
Three of the cars have the rearview mirrors on magnets so they can easily come off for shooting. Some of the windshields are also clear, while others have a blue-tinted band to them. They try to use the clear windshields for the “PMP shots”. Some cars also have tinted glass and those are primarily used when they have a double driving the car at night so that the identity of the driver is less noticeable.
Budnick thinks that SUPERNATURAL’s early years of utilizing the PMP technique looked a bit fake, but that the show has come a long way in achieving a far more natural look over the years.
Fans all over the world are building the cars – as far away as Brazil and Sweden, according to Budnick. Fans even contact Budnick to find out “what color I use for this [piece], or stuff like that”. But the interest in the car has made it a bit difficult to find parts, and the parts that Budnick and other fans find are much more expensive than they were when SUPERNATURAL began. “You can’t find a rusted-out basket case for under $10,000 now”, when the car used to be worth $2,500. But apparently car manufacturers are making more reproduction parts for the Impala now because the interest in the model has grown with the show, and so that is making things a bit easier for Budnick.
Back in the very early seasons of the show, the Impala used to have the “spotlights” that you can see on the side of the windshield here. But they were “taken off because the director/producer at the time, Kim Manners, [said] they were always in the way of the camera. So they were always moving them out of the way. One day he goes ‘just take them off’. So I did,” Budnick said. “And then the fans went crazy. It really showed you how passionate the fans were about the car.”
Another reason they picked the Impala (other than creator Eric Kripke’s oft-quoted desire for a cool car with a big trunk), is the fact that the cameras in the earlier years used to be very big. And so production wanted a big “four-door sedan to get in and out of.” Now they have smaller HD cameras and don’t need such a large car, and yet the car has become iconic.
Behind the scenes tidbit: apparently “Jared [Padalecki]’s hit a few things over the years” when driving the car.
