Welcome to the forum!
Neat coach - is it a '63 or '64 Superior Crown Royale limo style? What configuration is the interior? Also relay your location and stuff you may need as a few here (Pyro especially) can assist.

You're welcome. NHAA member Belladonna is also in the NW and has a '58 Superior.
If you're saying there is no partition behind the driver's seat separating the rear compartment, your '63 is/was a sideloader (also referred to as a 3-way) hearse.

just got in from looking it over a little closer with my updated knowledge . appears to have not had a divider, and the fenders are pretty decent with any luck i will have made room in the shop by Wednesday and remove the debris and get some pics up . thanks Joe

Limo style sideloaders are quite uncommon stateside. They were popular in Mexico and the Phillipines - not the US. I've seen less surviving examples of them than landau style combinations, which are equally scarce.
Pyro mentioned fenders as they are commercial chassis specific from '61-'64 (through '65 for limos). Using the '59-'60 windshield that long necessitated compensating along the cowl (for starters).
Looking forward to seeing more of your coach.

Joe, can you fully open one set of side doors and frame a picture about the size of the opening? There is enough missing from the back that I'd like to see that angle not shown to help ID.
