1925 Flint E-55

The Flint was an automobile marque that was assembled by the Flint Motors Division, Flint, Michigan between 1923 and 1927. Flint Motors was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Durant Motors Company (USA). The Flint was considered an assembled car because Durant Motors used components manufactured by outside suppliers to build its automobile lines. The cars were powered by a six-cylinder Continental engine, and their body stampings were made by Budd in Philadelphia. Following financial troubles at Durant Motors, Flint was discontinued in 1927. The Flint was priced to compete with Buick, which was also assembled in Flint, Michigan. This car has a six-cylinder, 56.5 horsepower Continental engine.

During the 1923 New York Automobile Show at the Hotel Commodore, Flint introduced the next Six. Ironically, the press labeled the new car a 'Junior Locomobile' since Durant had also just purchased the failed Locomobile Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The first 500 Flint automobiles were built in one of Durant's factories in Long Island, New York. Soon thereafter, the company was briefly relocated to Elizabeth, New Jersey, and then was once again moved to Flint, Michigan, and then back to New Jersey, where production ceased in 1927.

This 1925 Flint Model E-55 Touring car is fitted with a six-cylinder engine offering 65 horsepower. Body styles included touring, roadster, coupe, and sport touring. All rode on a 120-inch wheelbase and sold for around $1,200.
