This is just TOO cute!
I don't know if anyone posted this one yet, but it's new to me. It's an ad for a museum. Sounds like the Universal Studios KITT that they had on a platform over some water one time - same voice. Though it also does sound a lot like William Daniels.

I just love how he has all the fuzzies on his dash and calls them his "friends".

That was William Daniels. They just have his voice pitched a bit higher
in that ad than what we normally hear on the show.
Nice find.

Knightdriver - It makes sense now. They probably sped up the voice to fit the commercial time. When speeding up a voice, the pitch does rise. So they must have sped it up a little but not too much to make the voice unrecognizable.

That's a 4th season KITT in that video....my guess was this commercial was shot in 85 or 86. The car and the look of the dash have the same "feel" as the screen used cars in the 4th season.

Yeah his voice is definately faster but no doubt it is William Daniels. You just can't confuse his voice with any other
Great find

Thanks guys.
It might be that they got KR to do that for the benefit of their museum. Seems like they also got KITT to tell a few factual stories for the phone line as well (probably pre-recorded).
BTW, doing those pre-recorded stories isn't too bad. I remember doing one for the public library's kids line thing one time when I was a voluteer.
It was kinda fun. I just called in and recorded it according to instructions. I only did one though.

I just noticed something - they got the scanner noise wrong.

"This will stop him"
"...he went right through me"
"This is one Knight he'll never forget"

I haven't seen probably nearly all of them, actually.
That is a great find too. They should have made one with Goliath! Or did they?

I actually meant if they made a playset with Goliath. I'd be surprised if there wasn't one.
