The Iconic F-Body: Legends Of The Road And Screen At The Orlando Auto Museum

The F-body platform, introduced by General Motors, produced some of the most legendary American muscle cars under the Chevrolet and Pontiac brands. These cars became cultural icons, not only for their performance and style but also for their appearances in pop culture.

Like many of the vehicles in the Orlando Auto Museum at Dezerland Park, F-body cars are celebrated for their timeless appeal. Want to learn more about these classic cars? Keep reading for more information about some of the best Chevrolet and Pontiac cars the museum has to offer. 

1982 Pontiac Trans Am “KITT” – Knight Rider‘s Hero Car

KITT, the iconic car from the 1980s “Knight Rider” series, was primarily depicted as a sleek, black 1982 Pontiac Trans Am coupe. Sleek, futuristic, and finished in glossy black, KITT was far more than just a car — it was a fully autonomous, artificially intelligent vehicle that could talk, drive itself, and perform advanced maneuvers.

The original KITT coupe showcased the Trans Am’s naturally aerodynamic design and low-slung stance, making it instantly recognizable as a classic F-Body vehicle. In later seasons, a convertible version of KITT, built by famed custom car designer George Barris was introduced. The convertible design gave KITT a fresh aesthetic while maintaining its high-tech allure and introduced the iconic Super Pursuit Mode.

If Knight Rider fans want to see both versions of their favorite autonomous sidekick, all they need to do is plan a trip to the Orlando Auto Museum. 

1975 Pontiac Trans Am

The 1975 Pontiac Trans Am is another standout example of an F-Body vehicle and Pontiac’s design prowess, particularly when paired with the rare silver paint option. This model often featured the bold and iconic “Screaming Chicken” decal, which adorned the hood as part of the Firebird graphics package. Underneath its muscular styling, the Trans Am was built for performance, boasting powerful V-8 engines that made it a fierce contender on the road. The combination of its rarity, styling, and performance makes the 1975 silver Trans Am a prized vehicle in the Orlando Auto Museum’s collection.

1979 Chevrolet Camaro

The 1979 Chevy Camaro was another product of the F-Body platform that left its mark. Known for its aggressive lines and performance potential, this particular example features a custom aftermarket front end and was previously used as a drag racing car. Fitted with a roll cage for safety, this Camaro embodies the spirit of high-speed competition and modification culture.
