A front pillar outer including a glass-face-side flange part, a door-side flange part, and a main body part that connects the glass-face-side flange part and the door-side flange part to each other,
- wherein the front pillar outer comprises:
- a first member that extends in a longitudinal direction from a fore end toward a rear end of the front pillar outer and includes a first glass-face-side flange part that forms a part of the glass-face-side flange part, a first door-side flange part that forms a part of the door-side flange part, and a first main body part that forms a part of the main body part and connects the first glass-face-side flange part and the first door-side flange part to each other;
- and
- a second member that extends in the longitudinal direction from the rear end toward the fore end of the front pillar outer and includes a second glass-face-side flange part that forms a part of the glass-face-side flange part, a second door-side flange part that forms a part of the door-side flange part, and a second main body part that forms a part of the main body part and connects the second glass-face-side flange part and the second door-side flange part to each other,
- a rear end of the first door-side flange part is located more rearward than a rear end of the first glass-face-side flange part and a rear end of the first main body part,
- a fore end of the second glass-face-side flange part is located more forward than a fore end of the second door-side flange part and a fore end of the second main body part,
- the first door-side flange part and the second door-side flange part overlap with each other in an area from the rear end of the first door-side flange part to the fore end of the second door-side flange part,
- the first glass-face-side flange part and the second glass-face-side flange part overlap with each other in an area from the rear end of the first glass-face-side flange part to the fore end of the second glass-face-side flange part,
- the first main body part and the second main body part overlap with each other in an area from the rear end of the first main body part to the fore end of the second main body part,
- in the area in which the first door-side flange part and the second door-side flange part overlap with each other, a first plate part that is connected to a side edge of one door-side flange part of the first door-side flange part and the second door-side flange part is folded so that the other door-side flange part is sandwiched between the one door-side flange part and the folded first plate part, and
- in the area in which the first glass-face-side flange part and the second glass-face-side flange part overlap with each other, a second plate part that is connected to a side edge of one glass-face-side flange part of the first glass-face-side flange part and the second glass-face-side flange part is folded so that the other glass-face-side flange part is sandwiched between the one glass-face-side flange part and the folded second plate part.
