What is a factory "stripped chassis" anyways?

Just curious I was surfing the net for info on my 58 Buick and found this..

Model 531-Stripped Chassis...........168 units Super Series.

I thought maybe bare bones Police or government car?

 

maybe a car with no rear body, for conversion to a hearse or ambulance or whatever?

 

Maybe so, but one might think they would use the station wagon model

 

Most likely like Navistar supplies for school buses, frame/drivetrain/steering column assy's

 

Units for professional conversions...ambulance/hearse, etc.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Bare chassis sometimes a roller with an engine and sometimes not.

They were sold to companies to build the equivalent of a coach built car.
