An air deflector for vehicles to reduce wind resistance while moving. Two flat panels are provided hinged to upright posts, preferably mounted on the bumper of a vehicle. The panels are collapsable or retractable. In one position they are swung outwardly into a v-shaped configuration with the apex at the front. In retracted position they are folded back in a position parallel to each other adapted for parking or storage. Guide means are provided on the back side of the panels to facilitate their being deployed outwardly. The outer edges of the panels are mounted on rotatable posts having sprockets on them and a sprocket chain mechanism is provided with connections to the interior of the automobile so that the panels can be deployed outwardly or retracted from within the vehicle.
