Abstract
An automobile rear body structure which comprises a hingedly supported rear door adapted to selectively close and open an access opening leading to a rear luggage compartment, a rear end panel partly defining the luggage compartment and extending widthwise of the body structure and a recess formed in the rear end of the floor panel at a location substantially intermediately of the width of the body structure for accommodating a wheel and tire in upright position. The rear end panel has a lower edge portion extending from a rear end of the floor panel in a direction generally perpendicular to the floor panel, and an upper edge portion bent so as to protrude in a direction towards the rear door while defining a rear lip region of the access opening. The frontwardly protruding upper edge portion of the rear end panel overhangs the wheel and tire located in the recess.
