ABSTRACT:
An air dam is comprised of a plurality of flexible bristles which have upper ends fixedly mounted on a mounting bracket adapted for mounting on the underside of the vehicle front end so that the bristles depend generally vertically toward the road surface. The bristles are mounted in closely packed relationship providing an air impermeable wall which effectively functions as an air deflecting dam. The bristles are sufficiently stiff to resist being bent by the air flow and yet are sufficiently yieldable to bend rearwardly when the air dam brushes over a curb and then bend forwardly as the vehicle backs away from the curb. The mounting bracket extends in a curvilinear path to provide a desired plan form configuration matching the plan form configuration of the vehicle body.
