In an interview with Digital Spy from before they filmed the final episode, Jensen Ackles — who is now starring in Amazon's "The Boys" – said that he was given permission to take Dean's beloved 1967 Chevrolet Impala. "I begged and begged and pleaded for years, but I finally got it," he said, surely gleeful that his efforts paid off. 

As fans know, the Impala, which Dean affectionally refers to as "Baby," has been a "Supernatural" staple since the first season. Having been passed down to him from his father, John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) — it is revealed in the episode, "In The Beginning," that Future Dean actually convinces John (Matt Cohen) to buy it in the first place — the car has been by Dean and Sam's side through several dangerous adventures, even in animated form when the brothers meet the Scooby Gang.

The fact that Ackles gets to own the Impala is such a big deal. The car has been a huge part of the series, becoming a character in its own right, and it only makes sense that the actor playing Dean gets to keep Baby and all the memories that it holds.
