(Structure of the Invention) The upper vehicle body structure of the automobile according to the present invention has a substantially inverted U body structure.
The vehicle is equipped with a collapsible pillar that is shaped like a letter and spans between both side walls of the vehicle body so as to be freely rotatable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body around the lower ends of both legs, and a rear cover member that covers the rear part of the collapsible pillar. In the automobile, a storage section is provided at the rear of the vehicle body for storing the above-mentioned collapsible pillar and rear cover member, and the cover member covering this storage section is opened upward with the rear end as the center of rotation and is in an approximately horizontal position. The collapsible pillar is rotatably supported on the vehicle body between a closed position and a closed position, and the collapsible pillar is pivoted to an upright position where the rear cover member covers the rear of the collapsible pillar, and a storage area when rotated rearward. When the collapsible pillar is in the upright position and the stowed position, the cover member is held in the closed position, and the collapsible pillar is rotated between the upright position and the stowed position. An interlocking mechanism is provided to open the cover member when the cover member is rotated between the two.
