License Plates

Thanks to various behind the scenes images, we know that the semi was used not only as a prop in the series, but also as a way to haul the various K.I.T.T. cars to locations. Therefore, one might conclude that the license plates seen on the semi could be legitimate California plates. Could the semi be tracked down through the California DMV? Might be a long shot, but it's worth mentioning.

We have been able to identify four possible plates:

1U13265 (Cab - "Hearts of Stone", "Knight Moves")
2J01192 (Cab - "Killer K.I.T.T.")
1M 2963 (Trailer - "Knight Moves" - UNCONFIRMED, Very hard to read)

The fourth plate number comes from the clipping to your left. David is leaning up against what could be the semi. In the article, it shows a plate of 2F91318.




Can you identify any other plate combos from screenshots of the series? If so, let us know!

A Clue Regarding The Trailer

Back in 2002, "Knight Rider" stunt coordinator Jack Gill was interviewed for Knight Rider Legacy and in his interview, he makes mention of what happened to the semi after the series ended:

"It (the cab) was painted a different color and just rented out later, but the original semi, the box (trailer), sits on the backlot, not even in the tour section, just in the back behind the stages, the tires are flat on it, it just sits there. The paint job is all junk. You'd know it to see it. Its on the back side, on the other side of New York St."

Judging by his description, it would appear to be located where the "?" is on the satellite shot above. Unfortunately, many of those trailers are now gone, as shown by newer satellite images.

The purpose of this website is simple - to determine the current location and condition of the tractor and trailer used as the F.L.A.G. semi in the 1982-86 series, "Knight Rider". This is a joint effort between Joe Huth (author of Knight Rider Legacy), Paul Nuthall (webmaster of Knight Rider Archive), Neil Epstein (webmaster of Knight Rider Online) and Matthew (Knight Rider Online Moderator).
