2. THE CAR
Did you that the cult series Knight Rider which featured David Hasselhoff as Michael who fights crime with the help of his powerful AI car, this crime fighting car is named KITT. Another popular 80s show named ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ which featured the 1969 Dodge Charger car became the motivation for Kripke deciding to include a car on his show. He called his characters as the modern day gunslingers of the west who would fight the villains, get the girl, and walk off in the sunset at the end of the day. The boys would also need a horse for their support. He became up with the ’65 Mustang, but Kripke’s neighbor successfully convinced him to use the ’67 Chevrolet Impala. The car has a large trunk which allows Winchester to store stuff that they didn’t want anyone to see. This is a sort of masculine car which fits perfectly with the personalities of the boys.
