A conversion means a motor vehicle, other than a motor home, ambulance or fire-fighting vehicle, that:

• has been substantially modified by a person other than the manufacturer or distributor of the chassis of the motor vehicle, and
• has not been the subject of a retail sale.

A converter means a person who before the retail sale of a motor vehicle:

• assembles, installs, or affixes a body, cab or special equipment to a chassis, or
• substantially adds, subtracts from or modifies a previously assembled or manufactured motor vehicle other than a motor home, ambulance or fire-fighting vehicle.
