A lens surface of the headlight and the upper part of the front cowl each have a surface that is inclined so as to extend upwardly and rearwardly to form a front cowl surface continuously covering the vehicle body front surface. A step part protruding more in a forward direction than the lens surface is made at the connection part between the front cowl and an upper edge of the lens surface of the headlight. This step part extends outwardly in the vehicle width direction to the base parts of the rearview mirrors along the upper edge of the lens surface with mirror-side overhang surfaces continuously leading to the step part.
