Greetings:
I wanted to share a picture of my Aunt's 1967 Frigidaire Custom Imperial double oven/range. They have had this since they built their split-level house in '66-'67. I always thought it was a really cool unit, and the upper oven with glass door looks like a microwave even though it isn't.
They have managed to keep it going for 42 years in spite of parts being a real problem now. My Aunt dreads ever having to replace it. The fat coil burners are expensive to replace and one has a temperature sensor built into it. Suprisingly, that one has not failed which is probably a lucky thing!
They had a matching '67 Frigidaire Custom Imperial dishwasher that lasted until 1980 or so and a close match '66 Frigidaire refrigerator that came with them from the previous house that lasted until 1990. Sadly, the '63 or so Kenmore model 70 washer and dryer they also brought with them are long gone now. I think the washer got replaced around '82 and the dryer lasted until about 1990. The current 1990 KitchenAid Superba dishwasher is still going strong.
Too bad they don't make anything like this range today.
