A hood hinge structure for hinge connecting together a hinge lower (4) to be fixed to a body and a hinge upper (3) to be fixed to a hood (1) at a hinge axial center, the engine room side of the vehicle body (2) serving as the fixing portion of the hinge lower (4) is formed as a stepped portion (2A) which is situated on the lower side, and the fixing portion of the hinge upper is disposed such that it is opposed to the stepped portion (2A). In this structure, even in case where the head of a pedestrian (P) is butted against the hood (1) in the vicinity of the hinge portion due to a collision, the hinge portion is deformed within a relatively long shock-absorbing stroke formed between the hinge portion and stepped portion (2A) formed on the engine room side of the vehicle body to thereby be able to absorb the shock sufficiently. <IMAGE> |
