knight rider online

I caught a news report about a new display at the Smithsonian (sort of the "Museum of America"). They have a new exhibit on lunchboxes, showing the influence of pop culture over the decades. During the report, a trusty Knight Rider Lunchbox was clearly seen sitting in the display case.

From the Smithsonian website:
"Case: Taking America to Lunch April 13, 2004 - Indefinitely
On view are approximately 75 illustrated metal lunch boxes and beverage containers dating from the 1890s through the 1980s to celebrate the history and endurance of American lunch boxes. After reaching the height of their popularity at the dawn of the television era, lunch box sales became barometers for what was current in popular culture."

Considering that they only picked 75 lunchboxes for the exhibit, I think it's kind of an honor that they selected Knight Rider to be a part of it.

(p.s. What's wrong with this picture?)

Its a old(or bad) scan,thats why.

I can tell you exactly what's wrong with it. That lunchbox couldn't possibly have been from 1981 as Knight Rider first aired in the fall of 1982. By the way, I own one of those lunchboxes. It is in unused, mint condition, and 100% rust/dent free. The Thermos is pristine too.
