A luggage carrier or similar vehicle mounted rack has a pivotally moveable air deflector incorporated therewith. The deflector is positionable between a locked position and a freely moveable position. A locking mechanism defined by a biassing assembly moveable within a housing or stanchion to which the deflector blade is pivotally mounted. The locking mechanism engages or disengages the pivotal assembly of the deflector blade to lock it in position or to render it freely between a horizontal and vertical position in response to the velocity of the air impinging thereon.

In a luggage carrier of the type comprising an air deflector blade, the improvement which comprises: means for rendering the deflector blade rotatable between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position in response to the velocity of air flowing therepast, the blade being rotatable from the vertical position to horizontal position as the velocity of the air impinging thereagainst increases, the blade being adapted to minimize the drag created thereby.
