Abstract: The vehicle body structure is suitable for use in two-door automobiles. The strength of a rearward part of the vehicle body is increased to reliably suppress the deformation of the vehicle body in a possible collision from behind the vehicle. The vehicle body structure includes: a rear wheel house arranged to the rear of a center pillar; and a reinforcement member directly connecting a front part in front of the top portion of the rear wheel house with the center pillar, the front part being inclusive of the top portion of the rear wheel house.

Abstract: A separated-panel structure of a vehicle body panel including: a first panel, forming a part of an outer shape of a vehicle, including an outer face, a first flange face formed at the rear end of the outer face, and a second flange face formed an end of said outer face to face the trunk opening; a second panel, arranged at the rear of said first panel, including a first bottom face, a first wall face connected to said first bottom face and overlapping said first flange face, and a third flange face formed contiguously to said first wall face and overlapping said outer face, and a fourth flange face formed facing the trunk opening; and a third panel, arranged between a trunk opening and said first panel and between the trunk opening and said second panel, including a second wall forms as a part of an edge of the trunk opening, a third wall face overlapping said second flange face and said fourth flange face, a second bottom face connecting said second wall face and said third wall face, a fifth flange face for

Abstract: A vehicle structure, preferably applied to a vehicle with 2-door automobiles with the intention of inhabitation of center pillar deformation, particularly intrusion inside the vehicle, as a side impact collision, including: a rear roof rail which is placed in a reward position of a center pillar and which forms a rear end of a roof of a vehicle; and a connector which connects a closed section formed on the center pillar and a closed section formed on the rear roof rail so that the first and the second closed sections are formed into a continuous closed section and which includes a side roof rail part which forms a portion of a side roof rail that extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
