It’s a Fake! The Hollywood Star Cars Museum KITT
Located at the Hollywood Star Cars Museum in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, this car is a KITT replica built from a 1984 Trans Am, according to the VIN. Even though the curator specifically said that “all cars in the museum are screen used, no replicas,” we knew that was not true regarding this particular piece when we visited in June of 2010. In reality, this car was built by a now-defunct company called “Code One Auto,” an early vendor of “Knight Rider” related parts back in the ’90s. Code One’s logo is even on the rear bumper. Beyond the dated and highly inaccurate replica parts, we examined this car for evidence of use as a film prop and found none. Furthermore, a detailed history report on this car using its VIN proved that it is, indeed, just an early replica.
