An automobile includes a main front air screen generator having a curved wall member extending rearwardly and upwardly to a crest. A central deflector plate develops an air screen in front of the vehicle and a low pressure pocket behind the curved member. The surfaces of the automobile include minute wave-shaped flutes, each including a trough which extends upwardly and rearwardly to a relatively sharp crest and then breaks downwardly and forwardly into the next trough such that any impactive air moves over the surface with engagement only at the crest portions. A screen covers the flutes on the back surfaces and curved vances extending rearwardly and upwardly may optimize the pressure condition.
