The Volo Museum in Illinois was surprised to receive a speeding ticket for its replica of the car from the TV show “Knight Rider,” even though the car has not been moved in years. The museum, located near Chicago, was issued a $50 ticket from New York City related to the black Pontiac Trans Am in its display. The ticket included photos from a traffic camera of a black Trans Am with the California license plate KNIGHT, which matches the one on the show and the novelty plate on the museum’s car. It remains unclear how the city connected the speeding car to the museum, and messages were left with city officials for clarity.
