Museum’s ‘Knight Rider’ replica car got a speeding ticket. It hasn’t gone anywhere in years
A museum in Illinois is wondering how it got a speeding ticket for its replica of the car in the TV show “Knight Rider†that hasn’t moved from its display in years. The Volo Museum near Chicago says it got a $50 ticket from New York City linked to the black Pontiac Trans Am this week. The ticket includes traffic cam photos of a black Trans Am with the California license plate KNIGHT. That’s the same plate as the one in the show and the novelty plate on the museum’s car. It’s unclear how the city connected the speeding car to the museum. Messages were left with city officials.
