Quote from Mark Puette from the Foundation when we had a Discussion over there. It explains the story about the car.
Mark Puette wrote:Just to clear things up. That car was NEVER used on KNIGHT RIDER. That car was a car owned by Barris that he drove around LA. An exterior car only. Later, when he needed a KNIGHT RIDER car to send to the museum in Gatlinburg, he had a 1 TV dash put in it, with the crappy overlay boards and LED's in it, and the tv area painted grey to resemble a tv. Then a fake steering wheel was mounted to a short pole and on a 6"X6" metal plate and screwed to the floorboard behind the drivers seat. They said this was how the car was driven from a hidden area. The lower console was done by Paul Sher after making a trip to the museum and noticing that the car had no lower console.

I was about to say that the car is quite obviously not one of the "screen used" cars. It has seat belts and it doesn't even have the original PMD seats, not to mention a 4th season nose and all the problems with the dashboard and such. I guess Barris thinks he can claim he created K.I.T.T. if he makes one of his own after the fact... The only original screen used car that I know of off-hand is the Convertible Mode KITT in the Cars Of the Stars Museum in Europe, I think...TurbomanKnight wrote:Quote from Mark Puette from the Foundation when we had a Discussion over there.
