PURPOSE:To enhance the rigidity of a vehicle body floor section in an open-top vehicle, by connecting the vertical section of a center frame coupled to the center section of a front header with the lower ends of center pillars through the intermediary of cross-members forming a closed cross-section together with a floor panel. CONSTITUTION:A front header 4 connecting between the upper ends of right and left center front pillars 3, 3 in an open-top vehicle, is connected with a floor panel 11 through the intermediary of an inverted L-like center frame 5. A cross-member 16 extending widthwise of the vehicle body and including a lower cross-member 16a forming a closed cross-section together with the lower surface of a rear floor panel 14 in the floor panel 11 and an upper cross member 16b forming a closed cross-section together with the upper surface of the rear floor panel 14, is joined to the rear floor panel 14. Further, the cross-member 16 connects between a vertical section 5b of the above-mentioned center frame 5 and center pillars 21 extending upward at both right and left sides of the floor panel 11.
