Abstract
A front body structure for a vehicle has a pair of front side frames of a boxed-type which extend in a lengthwise direction from the front to the back of the vehicle at opposite sides of the front body. The front side frame has a closed rectangular cross section which has an approximately constant height over the length and has a height-to-width ratio gradually decreasing toward a ratio of 1 (one) as the front frame comes closer to the forward end thereof.
