1) the year, make, and model; and

2) that the vehicle is a "demonstrator" or has been previously driven.

b) It is an unfair or deceptive act to advertise any "executive" or "official" vehicle unless that vehicle when so advertised has been used exclusively by executives of the parent motor car manufacturer's personnel or by an executive of an authorized dealer in the same make of car, or has been designated by the manufacturer as a promotional vehicle. The vehicle so advertised shall not have been previously titled or sold to a member of the public prior to the appearance of the advertisement. Such executive vehicles shall be described as "executive driven" and such promotional vehicles shall be described as "official driven".
