They were at our show back in 2022, and now the Knight Rider Historians will be making a “shadowy RETURN flight” for Retro Con 2025, September 6th & 7th in Oaks, PA!

The agents at Knight Rider Historians are dedicated to promoting the legacy of Knight Rider in all forms. From interviews with cast and crew, to episode commentaries, to unraveling show mysteries, to tracking down and preserving screen-used props from the series. They’re currently in the midst of their restoration of the screen-used FLAG semi and trailer, and they’re documenting every single aspect of it on their youtube channel!

KRH will be joining us at Retro Con, and bringing a screen-used KITT with them! They brought their amazing Season 3 stunt car to our show in 2022, and this year their plan is to bring along their OTHER screen-used KITT, known as the “Back-up to the Hero” car!

No matter when you discovered Knight Rider, this is likely the first KITT you’ve ever seen! It’s the exact car from the opening seconds of the show intro, when the car is racing towards the camera in the desert, transitioning to the show title! It’s one of the first 3 cars secured by show creator Glen Larson to film the Pilot, and was used in every episode in the first 2 seasons. Initially as the backup to the primary “Hero” car, and then as the dedicated insert car used for interior shots.

And you’re getting a “two-fer” here! This particular vehicle was also used as KARR in the Season 3 episode “KITT vs KARR”, in the scene where KARR is being pulled out of the sand at the beginning! “I am not a car. I’m the Knight Automated Roving Robot, the first in a bold new experiment. You may call me ‘KARR’.”

This is one of only *five* screen-used KITTs still known to exist! For a fee at the show you can get your picture taken with this iconic piece of television history!

This September marks the 40th Anniversary of the classic 80’s action series Knight Rider, and the Knight Rider Historians youtube channel will be making a “shadowy flight” to Retro Con to help us celebrate in style… and bringing a screen-used KITT with them!

The team at Knight Rider Historians are dedicated to promoting the legacy of Knight Rider every way possible. From interviews with cast and crew, to episode commentaries, to unraveling show mysteries, to tracking down and preserving screen-used props from the series. In fact, they possess the world’s largest collection of Knight Rider props!

KRH’s front man Joe will be joining us at Retro Con, and bringing along a screen-used KITT! This piece of tv history was used for stunts in seasons 3 & 4 of the show. While roughly 25 KITTs were used in the creation of the series, only 5 are known to remain. This is one of those surviving cars, saved from a terrible junkyard fate and restored to its former glory. In recent years, this KITT has been seen on an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, and was even reunited with The Hoff himself on Good Morning America in 2019!

Knight Rider Historians and KITT will be at the show all weekend, and photo ops with the car will be available for a fee. Now’s your chance to be Michael Knight!
