Indeed, Gold. In fact, we have a KITT at the Petersen. We've always got a neat assortment of movie cars, but we have a dedicated movie car exhibit right now. One of them is the actual Luke Skywalker Land Speeder from Star Wars. That is one of the cultural icons of the 1970s, and I'm amazed that most people pass it by with a quick glance. We've also got some goofy ones, like the 6000SUX (look that one up) from Robocop. To this day, I think the most beautiful car in the world is the Toyota 2000GT that was modified into a roadster for You Only Live Twice.
I love working in a building full of movie car history. One of the biggest guilty pleasures of my life was playing the Jake character from Blues Brothers in a Blues Mobile in the Hollywood Christmas Parade. True to character, the car broke down in front of the crowd and belched oil and antifreeze on the red carpet.
