May 15 (UPI) — An Illinois museum received a speeding ticket from New York alleging its replica Knight Rider car was caught on a traffic camera — but the car hasn’t moved in over a decade.<\/p>\n
The Volo Museum revealed on social media<\/a> that it received notice in the mail that its 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, a replica of the talking car KITT from 1982-1986 TV series Knight Rider, was caught on camera going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone on Ocean Parkway in New York City.\n<\/p>\n The car in the traffic camera photo bears a California novelty plate reading “KNIGHT,” which matches the plate on the museum’s car.<\/p>\n “Their official system ties the novelty plate to Volo Museum and we got a bill for $50,” the post said.<\/p>\n Museum officials said the KITT replica hasn’t moved in years, and hasn’t been driven on a public road in over a decade.<\/p>\n “We are famous for our large movie and TV car collection, so at first we thought it was a joke,” Jim Wojdyla, the museum’s marketing director, told USA Today<\/a>. “We then looked it up on the official New York City website and it was indeed legit.”<\/p>\n Wojdyla said the museum’s plate isn’t even real.<\/p>\n “It’s just a novelty plate. We sell these in our gift shop,” he told News 12.<\/a><\/p>\n
