ON SET WITH SPN: THE REAL FAN CONTEST
Photo from our Supernatural Fan contest winner set visit in season 11. It was raining that day so Frank drove “Baby” into the stage so that fans could get their pictures.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeff Budnick on a variety of Home Video extras over the years. In his job as Picture Car Coordinator, he has been the person most intimately involved in making sure Supernatural has all the cars it needs for each episode. Many of these cars come from Jeff’s personal collection of movie picture cars that he has purchased and restored over the years. But most importantly to Supernatural fans, he and his team kept all of the BABY cars, as the Chevy Impala is called in the show, in tip-top shape. That includes three HERO cars that are in great shape, three stunt cars, a BUCK car that is just a shell for easier filming, and several more that are used for parts.
