Abstract
A front side bead is formed in a front portion of a vehicular hood (bonnet) along a vehicle width direction by a hood inner panel and a lock reinforcement. A rear-side attachment portion of the hood inner panel to which is joined a flange serves as a swollen portion that swells downward with respect to the vehicle body. The flange of the lock reinforcement has a vehicle body rear-side attachment portion and is largely separated from a hood outer panel in a vehicle body vertical direction.
