§  420.  Guaranties  to  sellers of liabilities of buyers under retail
instalment contracts. (a) No guaranty given to  the  seller  or  to  the
seller  and  the seller's assignee of the liabilities of a buyer under a
retail instalment  contract  shall  be  valid  unless  the  guaranty  is
incorporated  in  or endorsed on the contract or identifies the contract
and specifies the time balance thereof. A copy of the guaranty  and  the
contract  to  which it relates shall be given or mailed to the guarantor
upon or immediately after the execution and delivery of the guaranty  by

instalment contract as defined in the motor  vehicle  retail  instalment
sales  act, constituting article nine of this chapter. This section does
not apply to a guaranty made by  a  seller  or  a  holder  of  a  retail
instalment contract.

(b) No guaranty given to the seller or to the seller and the seller's assignee of the liabilities of a buyer under a retail instalment contract shall relate to any future retail instalment contracts.
