“It’s hard to remember now, but when Nancy Drew was dreamed up, very few women could even drive, much less girls,” said Melanie Rehak, the author of “Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her.” “Her roadster represented ultimate freedom and independence.”Įven Nancy’s age depended on the car. The car’s the same it’s the meaning behind it that’s changed. Now the roadster is back, as blue and distinctive as ever, in “Nancy Drew,” which Warner Brothers will release on June 15. The totemic automobile made its debut in 1930 in the first sentence of the first Nancy Drew mystery, “The Secret of the Old Clock.” In the years - and books, films, television shows and computer games - that followed, it morphed into a blue convertible, a red Mustang and a blue hybrid. ASK a healthy sampling of American women under 100 about Nancy Drew and chances are they will remember three things: the girl detective’s titian hair, her chums Bess and George and her blue roadster.
