ABSTRACT:
An automobile luggage carrier of spaced side members and spaced cross members in which the carrier is supported at the front and rear corners on stanchions and in which the stanchions form part of the carrier and are firmly secured to the roof of an automobile and including an illuminating mechanism provided in certain or all of the stanchions to illuminate the area of the carrier and facilitate its use in the dark. Such illumination, either direct or reflective, would be highly visible to oncoming traffic and would contribute to the safe loading or unloading of the carrier in the dark. In an alternative embodiment, a deck mounted luggage carrier comprising a plurality of slat elements and at least one cross member supported by stanchions is integrated with an illuminating mechanism, such as the vehicle brake light, and/or tail light, and/or back-up light, which is operatively integrated with at least one of the stanchions and/or slat elements and/or cross member of the luggage carrier.
