2 KITTs in "Knight Strike"
I think I may have spotted a second KITT in a shot in "Knight Strike". Before anyone says that's not a KITT, but an ordinary Trans Am, let me say this: some of the cars used on the show for close ups of the driver still had the Trans Am gold graphics and some didnt have hubcaps. I may have spotted one of those. Take a look:

That's odd, you'd think they would have paid special attention to removing any other vehicles that resemble KITT, to enforce his look. Alot of times it seemed like they made sure that the various getaway cars in the series were 70s vehicles, but then those cars were more in the spotlight.
When that blue T/A drives by for instance, could that have just been chance, and the owner would later see his vehicle on television and be amazed, or was everyone on camera usually paid to be there?
And when the car dealership has the white one, was that chance at a random dealership, or would they have actually put it there?
I'm guessing chance in both cases, however these could have been T/As that would later be converted to KITTs?

Joe - Glad you liked it.
Ya know, I'm amazed at how you guys find these cars in the shows. I'm not that great at finding these details. I see now there were quite a few 3rd Gen T/As in Knight Rider.
Anyone see any Pontiac 6000s? I believe a friend of mine saw one in there once, but forgot what episode it was in. I think it was a tan one in a parking lot. Maybe in Goliath?
Would love to see if my car's "cousins" made any famous appearances.

Dryden means a lot to me. I fixed up the body as it was rusting, and the engine is fantastic! He's very dependable.
I have a CarDomain site with pictures here:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2091419
Page 2 has full pictures of my car and information about him. Page 3 is the interior/dash.
While growing up, my dad always treated most of his cars like members of the family. And many times they had names. Like his Honda 600 coupe he named "Rollerskate" and my Chevy S-10 (which I had before Dryden) which he named "Slushbox". So I had to name my car. I also name my computers (my current one is Megatron). Megatron has a chatbot/assistant installed so he can converse with me in a robotic voice (or any TTF voice I choose). I want to install something similar in a Car PC for Dryden.
I also am administrator of a club for GM A-Body Cars: http://a-body.net/
Besides the Pontiac 6000, other GM A-Body cars include the Chevy Celebrity, Olds Cutlass Ciera, and Buick Century.
These are really great cars! I wanted a Celebrity and was looking for one when my friends found Dryden. I never knew a 6000 existed before then. These are fantastic sporty sedans!
