- If seller of antique automobiles is a "used car dealer" as defined in Ga. L. 1958, p. 55, § 2 (see now O.C.G.A. § 43-47-2), the seller must register and obtain a license as provided in Ga. L. 1958, p. 55, §§ 3 and 13 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 43-47-7 and43-47-12). 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-386.

Att'y Gen. No. 2001-7.
