Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

Alex Toth Designs

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (stylized as ElectraWoman and DynaGirl) is a live action superhero children's television series from 1976 created by Sid and Marty Krofft. 

PREMISE: The program followed the crime-fighting exploits of caped superhero Electra Woman (played by Deidre Hall) and her teen sidekick Dyna Girl (Judy Strangis), who worked in their normal lives as reporters for Newsmaker Magazine (the two's surnames were never revealed—just their first names: Lori and Judy, respectively). In each episode, the duo dons brightly-colored spandex costumes, in a bright flash of light called an "Electra-Change"; get into the "ElectraCar"; and use an array of technically-advanced gadgets to thwart an eclectic collection of supervillains. They were assisted by Frank Heflin (Norman Alden), a scientist who stayed at their "ElectraBase", operating its highly sophisticated "CrimeScope" computer while keeping in continual contact with the pair through their "ElectraComs".

ELECTRACAR: The car from the Electra Woman and Dyna Girl series (1976) (the famous "ElectraCar") was not designed by a single renowned automotive designer; instead, it was conceived by the art direction and set design team at Sid & Marty Krofft Television Productions. Because the series had a limited budget and the vehicle needed to look like an electrically powered "spaceship," it was built at the production company's own studios in West Hollywood, California, using the science-fiction set-design techniques of the era.
