In an automobile instrument panel structure, an upper meter provided in an upper
front part of an instrument panel main body is disposed so as to correspond to
an upper side of an upper half of a steering wheel, and a lower meter provided
in a lower rear part of the instrument panel main body is disposed so as to correspond
to a lower side of the upper half of the steering wheel. It is thus possible to
reliably view the upper meter and the lower meter without being obstructed by the
steering wheel. Further, since an upper edge of a panel in which the upper meter
is disposed has a shape substantially conforming to the upper half of the steering
wheel, there is no disagreeable sensation even when the upper meter, which has
conventionally been disposed in a laterally central part of the instrument panel
main body, is disposed in front of the driver. Furthermore, since the panel can
be attached to and detached from the instrument panel main body, maintenance can
easily be carried out for the upper meter and the lower meter by removing the panel.
