[Code 1955, § 7-14.1]
No person shall engage in the business or occupation of dealing in used or secondhand automobiles, without first obtaining a license therefor from the City Clerk, in the manner provided in this article and Chapter 17. No such license shall be granted by the City Clerk until the application therefor has been referred to the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief and a report has been received from them stating that the exercise of the license applied for in the proposed location will not injure the public, health, safety or welfare and that the applicant has substantially complied with federal, state and local law during the five years immediately preceding the filing of the application.
[Code 1955, § 7-14.2]
No licensee under the provisions of this article shall purchase
or receive any used or secondhand automobile, or any part of an automobile,
from any person who is under the age of 17 years, without the written
consent of his or her parent or guardian. No such licensee shall purchase
any used automobile or any part of an automobile which he or she has
reason to believe to have been stolen.
[Code 1955, § 7-14.3]
Each licensee under the provisions of this article shall keep
a daily record of all business transactions relating to used automobiles
and to parts of automobiles, which record shall include the names
and the addresses of persons from whom such automobiles or parts are
purchased and to whom the same are sold, the identity of the automobile
or part by name and description, including, whenever applicable, the
year of manufacture, serial number, engine number, body number and
any other pertinent identification number, mark or description. Failure
to keep such a record by any such licensee or by any of his or her
agents or subordinates shall constitute a violation of this requirement
and shall constitute sufficient grounds for the revocation of the
license granted to him or her. The Chief of Police shall, at all times,
have access to such daily record.
[Code 1955, § 7-14.4]
