Speeding ticket leaves Illinois museum stumped – it’s for a legendary car that hasn’t budged from its exhibit for years

The Volo Museum in Illinois just received a surprise from New York City in the form of a $50 speeding ticket. Except, it’s for a black Pontiac Trans Am that hasn’t budged from its exhibit in years. Per AP News, the car in question is a replica of the iconic car from the 1980s television series Knight Rider, complete with the famous KNIGHT license plate.

The museum, located near Chicago, was shocked to learn that their supposedly stationary exhibit was allegedly clocked doing 36 mph in a 25 mph zone in Brooklyn. The staff just couldn’t understand how their facility was linked to a traffic violation occurring hundreds of miles away. The ticket even included photos of the offending car, which features the same California plate as the museum’s novelty item.
