Fitted with a 7-bearing crankshaft and a steel tube for added reinforcement, the Flint occupied an important niche in William C. Durant’s car empire. With its 6-cylinder Continental engine and a price of less than $2.000 for the closed models, Flint was popular in its class and as many as 3.000 Flint cars were sold in a year. Lockheed hydraulic 4-wheel brakes came with the 1925 Flint model, and during the company’s last two years there were two big sixes of 3.8-litres and 4½-litres, as well as the 2.8-litre ‘Flint Junior’. A compact six Flint with rear wheel brakes only.
