Rare KR Mail Away Item Obtained!

Back in 1982, viewers could write to the show and in return, the show would send a "fan mail" package out, which included a signed photo of David Hasselhoff and an "autograph" of KITT - a tire tread on a piece of paper! I managed to obtain this very rare item recently and thought I'd share:

It also has Patricia McPherson's autograph on the outside, along with a drawing of her! I've never seen this item before!

Wow, very very cool. I hear about it now then, so I could never quite tell how jsut how popular the show was in its heyday. But there certainly was a lot of advertising and paraphenalia.

And is that the flat bumper on KITT you see occasionally in the first season?

It's a new one to me... cool. I wonder if items like this were advertised through local newspapers and TV stations (rather than nationally) and so not everybody heard about them at the time.

Cool find Joe.

Cloudkitt - I'm not 100% but it does looks like the flat pilot nose. That looks to be a pretty rare picture too. I've never seen it before.

Sweet find Joe. That illustration of Patricia is beautiful.

Here's a closer shot of the envelope - even has a November 82 post mark!

And look at how much postage it cost! Now we are about to see postage rates go up to 40 or 42 cents is it?

YIKES!
