Mysterious white car
Ok, if you go on NBC and watch the TOS episode Give Me Liberty or give me Death, if you pause at exactly 03:42-03:47, you can see KITT driving down a road thats by a lake of some sort. there is a white car parked by it and I've seen this same footage in a previous episode. what is this car and why is it reused? Its a camera shot from above.
Re: Mysterious white car
No Mystery to it. It just happens to be a car parked on the road when they shot that scene. They often reused shots in the series. Why shoot a new shot of KITT driving down the road when they can reuse an old one.

FYI, this lake appeared in different perspective in at least 10 episodes.K.A.R.R.

It's location is posted on:

In fact, I kind of parked at the same location as the white car when I visited this lake.

Re: Mysterious white car
Yeah, they did it all of the time. Like the jail break from the first show. They use it again later on in the season (I can't remember which one). They always used the same shots at different times.

Re: Mysterious white car
You get the same thing happening in the second season episode "Blind Spot." In the scene where John is gunned down in the mall parking lot, there is a white VW Beetle in the background in a few spots, including just as Michael is speeding out of the parking lot to get the gunmen, and then the exact same car is seen on the street as Michael is chasing the gunmen. We all know there's no way a Beetle, of any make, could beat KITT anywhere.
