The Flint was a light two-seater runabout with a rear-mounted single-cylinder engine and no mudguards. The Flint was designed by A.B.C. Hardy who was later general manager of Marquette and then Chevrolet. Flint is sometimes erroneously called the Hardy after the designer.
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.
