Immediately upon the sale of any vehicle licensed under this chapter, when such sale is made prior to the date of expiration of such wheel tax license, the vehicle dealer or seller shall remove any wheel tax license emblem from the vehicle so sold. Thereupon such wheel tax license emblem shall cease to apply to the vehicle so sold.
Except where a vehicle license has been regularly transferred as hereinafter provided in Section 3-56-100, it shall be the duty of the purchaser of any used automobile or other vehicle to remove and deliver to the vendor or the vendor's agent immediately any wheel tax license emblem which may be attached to such vehicle at the time of the purchase thereof, which the vendor of such vehicle may have refused, failed or omitted to detach from such vehicle as hereinabove required. It shall be unlawful for any such purchaser to use, sell or offer for sale such used automobile or other vehicle without first having removed any such wheel tax license emblem.
