The front storage box 1 is a long box extending in the vehicle width direction (FIG. 4), and has a substantially U-shaped cross section open upward as shown in FIG. It is fixed to the floor panel P1 by clips 31 at two locations in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 4). A cover plate 41 is covered at the opening of the front storage box 1. The cover plate 41 is formed by joining a carpet skin to the upper surface of a blow-molded resin product. As shown in FIG. 5, a pull handle 411 is provided on one side edge of the surface. On the outer peripheral surface of the front storage box 1, reinforcing ribs 14 extending from the front wall 12 to the rear wall 13 via the bottom wall 11 are formed at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 2). The cross section of the front storage box 1 is gradually narrowed downward. Steps 121 and 131 are formed on the inner surfaces of the front and rear side walls 12 and 13 so that the partition panel 15 is horizontally supported. A shelf-shaped recess 132 is formed on the inner surface of the rear side wall 13 above the stepped portion 131 so that a bar-shaped luggage can be placed. The upper edge of the front side wall 12 of the front storage box 1 is formed into an inverted U-shaped cross section to form a cover portion 16 extending in the vehicle width direction. The details of the cover portion 16 are shown in FIG.

In FIG. 6, the cover portion 16 protrudes high upward and covers the entire floor member P2 in which a part of the floor panel P1 protrudes and bends.
The front ends of the reinforcing ribs 14 formed on the inner surface of the cover portion 16 are in contact with the outer surfaces of the side walls before and after (right and left in the figure).
The front wall 161 of the cover 16 is connected to the front wall of the floor member P2 by clips 32 at four locations in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 4). The front side wall 161 of the cover 16 extends downward along the front side wall of the floor member P2, and its lower end is pressed against the rear terminal M1 of the floor carpet M from above. The front side wall 161 of the cover 16 has a concave portion at the portion connected to the floor member P2 by the clip 32.
