Abstract
A handle knob to conduct an opening/closing operation of a front door is provided on an outer-face side of an outer panel, and a handle base to pivotally support the handle knob is provided on an inner-face side of the outer panel. A beltline reinforcement to reinforce an beltline portion of the outer panel is provided on the inner-face side of the outer panel. The handle base is connected to the beltline reinforcement via an connecting portion. Thereby, the support rigidity of the handle base can be increased, thereby properly preventing the handle base from moving by an improper access.
