{{Quotation
** In the timeline where the Titanic doesn't sink, Dean drives a [[Dean's Mustang|Mustang]] with the Chevy Impala's original KAZ 2Y5 Kansas plates.<ref>[[6.17 My Heart Will Go On]]</ref>
** In [[14.13 Lebanon]], the Impala is seen with the original KAZ 2Y5 license plates and the side spotlights restored after [[John Winchester]] awakens in the driver's seat when he is returned to 2003.
** The CNK 80Q3 plate is an Ohio one : Eric Kripke is from Ohio.
* Contrary to the design on [http://supernatural.warnerbros.com/ the official ''Supernatural'' website], the Impala has a bench front seat and its gearshift is located on the steering column.
* It does not have a "pillar" aka "post" between the front and rear door, only a chrome seal which is attached to the rear window.
* [[15.11 The Gamblers]]: While seeking out the place Garth suggested, Dean complains about the constant problems with the Impala now that they have lost their luck. The Impala later develops a flat tire, interrupting Dean's chance to get [[pie]] once again. After taking [[Joey Six]]'s luck, Dean tests it by driving the Impala but the car doesn't even make it out of the parking lot before dying again. After [[Fortuna]] restores their luck, the Impala is returned to normal working order once again.
* [[15.13 Destiny's Child]]: The alternate Sam and Dean are shown driving a more modern car than the Impala which appears briefly in the bunker's armory. Before leaving, the alternate Winchesters reveal that they found the Impala and took it for a drive much to Dean's anger and frustration. In addition, while in the [[Garden of Eden]], one of the memories Jack experiences as his [[soul]] is restored is driving the Impala with Dean.
* [[15.20 Carry On]]: After dying and going to [[Heaven]], Dean spots the Impala parked nearby with the original KAZ 2Y5 license plates and decides to go for a drive. With "[[Carry On Wayward Son]]" playing on the radio, Dean drives the Impala through Heaven. On Earth, Sam keeps the car, eventually putting it under a tarp. At one point in his older years, Sam uncovers the Impala and sits in the driver's seat to reminisce. After Sam dies of old age, Dean parks the Impala on a bridge in Heaven where he and Sam are reunited. Upon Sam's death, the Impala was most likely left to Sam's son [[Dean Winchester II]].
