When Netflix premiered its popular series Stranger Things on July 15, 2016, it became an immediate hit, both for its premise and its cars. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things follows a group of young friends who encounter supernatural forces and secret government experiments after a young boy named Will Byers goes missing. The show blends elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, and drama, and it is known for its nostalgic references to 1980s pop culture — and, of course, the automobiles of the era. 

This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a re-creation of the 1980 K5 Blazer driven by Hawkins Police Department Chief Jim Hopper (played by David Harbour). The original one partially exploded in “July 1985” due to an engine malfunction, and this one hasn’t escaped unscathed either, as the passenger side of the truck appears to have been strafed by a dozen bullets at some point. The Blazer was repainted to match Hopper’s vehicle and wears police emergency lights on roof and Hawkins Police Department identification on the doors.
