CAR-BODY FRONT STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a car-body front structure which can absorb the collision energy by deformation of only a proper bumper reinforcement preventing the collision load from acting on a hook bracket at the time of slight front collision. SOLUTION: At a connecting portion of the bumper reinforcement 20 and one side of a side member 10, a hook bracket 31 for fitting a towing hook 30 is fitted. A projecting part 40 higher in strength than the bumper reinforcement 20 is fitted, projecting more fore position than the front-most end position 21c of the bumper reinforcement 20, to the front between the pair of side members 10, 11 of the bumper reinforcement 20. This enables the collision load to be input into the bumper reinforcement 20 via the projecting part 40, which causes the bumper reinforcement 20 to be efficiently deformed without being interrupted by the hook bracket 31, effectively absorbing the collision energy.
