The Hawkins Power and Light van that was telekinetically flipped in the first season of Netflix's "Stranger Things" and the iconic "Supernatural" Impala will be on display in September for Spa-Con 6.0.
The van, which was infamously flipped through the telekinetic power of the character Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown, in the first season of "Stranger Things" will be on display for fans at the Spa-Con 6.0 comics and pop culture convention Sep. 23-25.
"The 'Hawkins van flip' is one of the most iconic scenes in the 'Stranger Things' series," Visit Hot Springs Marketing Director Bill Solleder said in a news release on Wednesday. "Our acquiring of the van for Spa-Con 6.0 is especially cool because the final episodes of Season 4 of the series begin showing Friday."
This is not the convention's first "Stranger Things" connection; Shannon Purser, who played Barb in Seasons 1 and 2 of the hit show, was a guest at the second annual Spa-Con in September 2017.
"Those fans will have the chance this fall to see the Hawkins Power and Light van up close," Solleder said.
The 1967 Chevrolet Impala was the trademark of Dean Winchester, a lead character in the "Supernatural" series. The release notes the Impala "plays a major role in 'Supernatural,' which follows the Winchester brothers as they investigate supernatural happenings across the country."
The "Stranger Things" Hawkins Power and Light van and the "Supernatural" car will be on the Spa-Con Expo Floor and available for photo ops. The cars are provided by the Celebrity Car Museum.
This year's celebrity guests at Spa-Con will include Lori Petty of "Tank Girl" fame, who lately starred in "Station 11," a post-apocalyptic miniseries streaming on HBO Max, Beau Billingslea, most known for his role as the voice actor of The Fourth Raikage and Homura in the animated series "Naruto," and Mark Rolston, known for roles including Private Drake in "Aliens" and Walter Pierce in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
A Spa-Con Showdown Smash Bros. Video Game Tournament will also be featured at the convention.
