Original Abstract Submitted

a front pillar structure, includes: a front pillar outer panel having an outer flange part at a vehicle forward side and a vehicle rearward side; a front pillar inner panel having an inner flange part joined to the outer flange part at each of the vehicle forward side and the vehicle rearward side; an outer bulkhead joined to the front pillar outer panel so as to configure a closed cross-sectional shape with the front pillar outer panel; an inner bulkhead that is joined to the front pillar inner panel so as to configure a closed cross-sectional shape with the front pillar inner panel, and that is disposed at a vehicle rearward side of the outer bulkhead, so as to overlap with the outer bulkhead in a vehicle width direction; and a cowl top side panel disposed at a vehicle forward side of the front pillar outer panel.
