Those of you still following along with the Knight Rider TV series will be pleasantly surprised tomorrow night (November 19th) as the 2010 Ford Mustang makes an appearance on the show. You can read the full press release about this below.

The 2010 Ford Mustang is going to Hollywood.
The iconic American muscle car, which has outsold all competitors for more than 20 years, will make its TV debut on the Nov. 19 episode of NBC’s “Knight Rider,” which stars the Shelby GT500KR as the new version of KITT. The program airs at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesdays.
“We’re delighted to bring the 2010 Mustang to prime time on NBC’s ‘Knight Rider,’ ” said Mustang brand manager Fritz Wilke. “With the Shelby GT500KR already showcased as the new KITT, it’s a perfect match.”
The 2010 Mustang will be seen in the episode “Knight of the Zodiac” inside the Satellite Surveillance Chamber, also known as the SSC or “KITT Cave.” The 2010 Mustang poses as KITT during an inspection and impresses everyone.
During the shooting, the show’s production crew maintained strict secrecy about the yet-to-be-revealed Mustang.
“The 2010 Mustang arrived in a truck which was backed into the stage. The car was unloaded, undercover and kept covered until we shot. Limited cast and crew were allowed on set. The moment we finished shooting the car was covered back up and put back in the truck and disappeared,” said Gary Scott Thompson, executive producer, “Knight Rider.” “Shooting this car was like working with a high-profile actress shooting a love scene. We closed the set and only had the necessary crew there to shoot the scene with this amazing car.”
