Depending on the car it could be bubble flared or double flared. It is easy to do.
BTW, it is not true you need to always double flare. If you use stainless ateel tubing there is no need to double flare. Single flare is sufficient. Stainless steel tubing is so stiff regular flaring tool won't do a thing to it. The special flaring tool made by Ridgid does the job. It flares the tubing by rotating around the ID of the tubing so it is making a point contact at any moment as it flares the tubing rather than flaring it full bore. But it does not apply in your case.
