Almost all, about 99%, but not quite all. Briggs didn't build the show and concept cars though they might have had Briggs components, the Panthers, the 53-54 Caribbeans (at least not to completion). The long wheelbase 7 passenger cars thru 47, and 53-54, the ambulances/funeral cars were built by Henney but again with some Briggs components. Briggs did the 48-50 long wheelbase cars. But it depends a bit on your definition of "built"; for example the Henney LWB cars used some standard Briggs components, and the 53-54 Caribbeans started as Briggs-built convertibles before conversion by M-B. I'm uncertain who did the wood portions of the bodywork on the Station Sedans.
