PURPOSE: To prevent generation of turbulence due to ram air in a driver's room in a small vehicle having a roof between top ends respectively of a pair of lateral and front and rear pillars, by forming both large openings to get on and off in the sides of a car body and a ventilating opening between the rear pillars.
CONSTITUTION: A small vehicle comprises, for instance, four wheels 10, 12, and a roof 20 is bridged across top ends of respectively a pair of lateral and front and rear pillars 16, 18. In the above, large openings 22 to get on and off are formed in both lateral sides of a car body 14 and a bottom edge of the opening 22 is aligned to a floor level of a driver's room 24 while a front edge of the opening is located to the front from a handle 26 to easily get on and off. While transparent wind guide plates 40 extensibly arranged rearward are fixed to the pair of lateral front pillars 16. Further a part between the pair of lateral rear pillars 18 is largely opened here used as a ventilating opening 42. In this way, ram air is guided by the plates 40 to flow in the sides of the body 14, partially introduced into the room 24 from the openings 22 and then guided out from the opening 42.
