Ever wondered what hunk-of-a-car that bad boy heartthrob Dean Winchester from the TV series, Supernatural, is driving? Well that sleek, black, monstrous beauty is none other than the 1967Chevy Impala. Just one of the models of the Impala series, the classic ’67 Impala has become Dean Winchester’s trademark and it continues to add an extra touch of charm to the TV character’s alluring sex appeal.
Built by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, the Chevy Impala has become one of the most successful nameplates in the automobile industry and has ranked among America’s top-selling full-sized automobiles since it was first introduced in 1958. Getting its name from a South African antelope, this machine epitomizes perfection as it combines the beauty and elegance of a luxury vehicle with the fierce power of a muscle car. Proving its prowess, the Chevrolet Impala replaced the Monte Carlo in the 2007 NASCAR racing circuit, and in 2008 was the only Chevrolet nameplate on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
As Chevrolet celebrated the Impala’s fifty years of power, beauty, and prestige in 2008, Chevy introduced its anniversary edition Impala equipped with a 211 horsepower, 3.5 liter V6 engine. This anniversary Impala came fully-loaded with features like an FE3 Sport Suspension, four-wheel ABS, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, and a “50th Anniversary” Impala badge among others. The release of its 2009 model further proved the Impala’s ability to merge style, power, and performance in one ferocious vehicle.
