A cowl louver is placed below a cowl top which is an outer plate member on an upper surface of a front part of a vehicle body. The cowl louver has a vertical wall which extends vertically from a cowl panel toward an expected direction of a load F. The vertical wall is bent at one location between an upper edge and a lower edge, and a length from a ridgeline at the bent position to the upper edge (upper width), and a length from the ridgeline to the lower edge (lower width), differ from each other. During deformation of the vertical wall due to collision, the bent portion moves on the vertical wall 40 so that energy is continuously consumed and the shock is absorbed.
