66. MEET ME AT THE BILTMORE: Dutee Wilcox Flint

<p>This week, I’m joined by Amanda Quay Blount, who just released her new book Meet Me at the Biltmore this October. She brought me a story I’d never heard before about this Rhode Island based Ford dealer. His name was Dutee Wilcox Flint, and he was one of the earliest and most successful Ford dealers in the world before he lost his empire, moved into the Biltmore, and largely vanished from memory.</p><p>Find Amanda's book, Meet Met at the Biltmore HERE! <a href="https://www.amandaquayblount.com/product-page/meet-me-at-the-biltmore">Meet Me At The Biltmore | Amanda Quay Blount</a></p><p><i>Episode Source Material</i></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.amandaquayblount.com/product-page/meet-me-at-the-biltmore">Meet Me At The Biltmore | Amanda Quay Blount</a></li><li><a href="https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2021/01/04/dutee-wilcox-flint-the-meteoric-rise-and-disastrous-fall-of-a-ford-dealer-and-confidant-of-henry-ford">Dutee Wilcox Flint - The Meteoric Rise and Disastrous Fall of a Ford Dealer and Confidant of Henry Ford | Hemmings</a></li><li><a href="https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1961/04/02/118033971.pdf?pdf_redirect=true&ip=0">Once Largest Auto Dealer in World — Lost Fortune in 1929 Market Crash | April 2, 1961</a></li><li><a href="http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/411944/479595.html?1410973142">OT - Ford Agent Dutee Wilcox Flint</a></li><li><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=70_PnUtxg4QC&pg=PA496&lpg=PA496&dq=dutee+flint&source=bl&ots=SCsangEUvm&sig=ACfU3U29eq_tRZ9qQEHmDi6d_GnSFBpNpQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjJm8H6n9j7AhVwqHIEHa8bDO04FBDoAXoECAMQAw#v=onepage&q=dutee%20flint&f=false">Horseless Age: The Automobile Trade Magazine, Volume 38 - July 1, 1916</a></li><li><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Y_PBNt3m_4wC&pg=PA181&lpg=PA181&dq=dutee+flint&source=bl&ots=6bGCJ2LFyX&sig=ACfU3U0VP-LSEwz6Z_jadBKI90ZzszPD9w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwia9sjmpdj7AhViknIEHdX3A-M4HhDoAXoECAMQAw#v=onepage&q=dutee%20flint&f=false">Ford Times, Volume 7</a></li><li><a href="https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/time
