Caloric learned to never again build ranges like that, what made Crown think it could do any better?!

Monstrosity. My initial thought, too. It did give room for the burner controls to be away from the flames, but it was just too big. None of the style of Samantha's Flair. Given the blue flame conflagration under the lower oven, it probably did not have have a decent broiler anywhere. Sad. Probably a good room heater year round.
Is that "Carefree" that I see there?
On something that old, big and gas it's anything but...
Were all the model tag-line names that used up, that Care-Free was all that was left, that this lotta care (not the good kind) could be called?!

I think that indicated that it had continuous clean innards...can just imagine the stench. Had a cousin with one of those--it decided to clean/oxidize right as the turkey was in the oven one Christmas...made the house absolutely reek.
Well that’s quite the thing I’d reckoned continuous cleaning would do…
Is not know by itself whether to bake, broil or clean, hence doing two out of the three at the same time…

Continuous cleaning ovens were never really clean, but they could be set for a high temp cleaning at above normal cooking temperatures if things got really bad, but it was a manually initiated process that was done without food in the oven. The regular self-cleaning process was a slow procedure that happened "continuously" at normal oven cooking temperatures. These ovens in this stove show the erosion of the oven lining by the by products of combustion and the normal state of the continuous catalytic coating. Since it was a propane stove, I don't know if it could have pilot lights which also did a number on oven linings.
Tom; might also be that they used oven cleaner and destroyed that coating which apparently these continuous cleaners had.
Could be, but few looked good over the years.
