GM Frigidaire range: Mfr date from model and serial numbers?

[dnastrau]

Greetings! Does anyone know if a GM Frigidaire range can be dated accurately (month/year) based on the model and serial number? I am trying to find out how old a Custom Imperial double oven/range with the following information is:

Model: RCIE-639VN
Serial: 64C48737

I am guessing 1965 - 68 but wanted to see if I could get a more accurate answer. Thanks if anyone might know.

Well, I think I can speak relatively definitively on this one...
RCIE-639VN =

R=Range
C=Custom
I=Imperial
E=Electri-Clean oven (lower oven)
6=Model prefix for the "Twin 30" ranges
39=30 inch model, higher end (as opposed to 30, 35, 37 & 38)
V=built-in "v"ent fan
N="N" series=1968[this post was last edited: 3/17/2013-23:18]
