Folks, this morning I was talking to my beloved landlord right in front of my 40-inch Flair and telling him about my plans to restore that stove and change the layout of my kit hen to make room for it. Of course I'd have to learn how to survive with a tiny refrigerator and a countertop dishwasher to have room enough for my Flair.

My landlord started laughing and said "if I knew you loved vintage stoves, I'd have left the stove that was here for almost 50 years. It was a Frigidaire Flair, but different from yours. It was 30 inches, the control panel was on the right of the upper oven, the upper oven door opened upwards just like this one... I kept hearing "upper oven" with a giant question mark above my head and when I was about to interrupt him to ask he continued "the lower oven didn't work so I got rid of it and put a basic kenmore gas that the previous tenant destroyed and since then I decided to rent with no stove and let the tenants bring their own.

Now another giant question mark.

Frigidaire FLAIR with this configuration?

Oh, and it didn't have the burners in a drawer. It looked just like a regular range with one Flair oven on top The landlord even mentioned the oven door was EXACTLY like mine, including the pattern and the Flair logo on it.

Other question... dimensions? That strange Flair fits perfectly in my kitchen. Was it the same size of a regular 30-inch Flair with one oven on top and a cabinet on bottom?

I'm not thrilled by this new to me configuration because i want "Samantha's drawer burners", I'd rater have an extra cabinet instead of another oven as I have a kitchenaid countertop oven that I love and is my most used oven, however, if the dimensions are the same, it makes.much easier to me to consider exchanging my Flair by a 30-inch model, if it will fit perfectly on the available cabinet height.

By the way, I've googled and found some "Twin 30" ranges, what is making me really curious is that my landlord clearly mentioned the Flair logo on a stove that looks like a twin 30.
 
Is this one of those Frigidaire ovens where ...

The self clean system was so complex that some people had it turned into a "regular" oven? What about current Frigidaire ovens? I have a feeling they must have a different system, maybe based on Westinghouse ovens?
 
Twin 30 Flair

The first Twin30 ranges had a "Flair" designation on the models that had the lift-up door on the upper oven. You can see the "Flair" label on Repairguy's pic to the right of the door handle. Models with a side swing door did not have that label. The lift up door only lasted a couple of years and every Twin30 had the side swing door after that.
All Flair wall ovens, as well as Custom Deluxe and Deluxe models (other than the original B models) had a porcelain finish. The "N" Custom Imperial models had removable teflon coated panels.
