Fred,
There is also a KITT at the Volo Auto Museum at
Volo, Illinois, about 45 miles NW of Chicago. I
drove to Chicago from South Carolina and bought
a restored 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass from them a year ago
and toured their museum. Quite interesting.

Here's a blurb about KITT from their site:
====================================
K.I.T.T.
K.I.T.T. is the #1 car in TV history. What could be cooler
than a car that could, among other things, talk, think,
express its opinions, sense danger, analyze vital signs.
The K.I.T.T. on display at the Volo Auto Museum is an
original survivor from the "Knight Rider" series. Several
K.I.T.T.s were destroyed during the production of
Knight Rider. Usually one big jump was done a week
and 2-3 smaller jumps were also performed in that
same week before the car was wrecked. Actual cars were
used for the show's stunt jumps until the last year when the
stunts became too dangerous to have humans carry them out.
So in the place of the cars, miniatures of K.I.T.T. were used
instead.
