Former Herbie car in KR TOS
Hello guys, I have a question for you. Do you know who provided the cars during the original Series, i mean the background cars, not the principal ones.
I'm asking 'cause I'd like to know who may have provided the white Bug that appears so frequently at the beginning of season 2. It's mosty likely a former Disney car from the Herbie movies and tv show.
Your help would be precious.
Thanks a lot.
Tony

Re: Former Herbie car in KR TOS
The first time I saw this stock footage that was reused in other episodes was in Blind Spot,season 2 episode 5.What's funny is that Michael was in kitt speeding off while the herbie lovebug was parked in the 8 min:19 second mark then the 8 min 20 second mark hebries already on the road outruning the porsche that Michael's supposed to chase after proving that Herbie the lovebug is faster than not only kitt but the porsche lol.
And yes that smoke on the first shot is kitt's.

It definitely looks like it could be Herbie. In the Love Bug movies, there was also a red and white stripe which appears to have been removed before it's appearance in Knight Rider.

He is there much more. Check behind Michael in the right corner:
Here he is on the hospital parking place:
An once more when Michael goes to resuce Julie:
Whoever drive that thing is very famous, even when it is just a "screenrole" in the background

There's nothing worse than a smart-ass automobile

Re: Former Herbie car in KR TOS
How can you be very famous if you only have a background role? lol. Anyway, I'm sure they had many different drivers for different scenes to drive "Herbie."Josch Schulz wrote:He is there much more. Check behind Michael in the right corner:

Re: Former Herbie car in KR TOS
Thank you guys for the generous replies, so any clue about a car company that could've worked on KR back then that provided this Herbie, maybe It was just the car of a member of the cast, but who...
Thank you
Tony

Re: Former Herbie car in KR TOS
Don't forget in the resent Herbie movie kitt was aside him they both looked very happy together in that scene. I believe it was in the intro too.
