Abstract
A hood covers a front part of a vehicle body from above and extends rearwardly and upwardly from a front end of the vehicle body. The hood includes upper surfaces provided at left and right parts of the hood, guide walls protruding upwardly from the upper surfaces, and a lid defining a lateral central part of the hood and contiguous with the upper ends of the guide walls. The guide walls extend continuously from a front end of the hood to a rear end of the hood. An instrument panel includes an upwardly inclined wall extending rearwardly from the rear end of the hood. The inclined wall slants at an angle larger than an angle at which the hood slants. The inclined wall of the instrument panel has an upper end located higher than an upper end of the hood.
