In the case of a vehicle which is sold by a licensed dealer, the dealer may provide a temporary forty-five day license permit. The permit authorizes the operation of the vehicle upon the highways of this state for a period of forty-five days after the date of sale or until the time the purchaser receives his regular license plates from the county treasurer, whichever comes first.
