Abstract
A motor vehicle flood protection apparatus comprising a flexible cover of water impervious material that is adapted to be folded over a motor vehicle and sealed to form a water impervious container around the motor vehicle and a flexible vent tube that opens at one end into the said container and that is provided with a flotation collar at the other end for buoying up the other end to the surface of flood waters. A spring loaded baffle vents air within the container to the atmosphere while at the same time preventing water, mud and debris from entering the vent tube and the container.
