Here's the link and some photos, someone save it! I'd grab it if it were a standard 30" range, but I can't even make it to the sale today to begin with unfortunately.

That is the white sister to my turquoise 1961 range. This was the only year that Frigidaire had the linear scales for settimg the Cookmaster Hours to Cook & Stop Time. 1961 was the last year for the formed aluminum front for the storage drawer. The ovens are vast; each shelf will hold two Bundt pans with plenty of room for air circulation around them. The Pull'n Clean ovens are not really well insulated, but bake and broil very well.

Wow! That is awesome! I have seen many of this generation Custom Imperial ranges, but never one with quite so many features (especially the time to cook functions above and below the clock and the meat tender) and in such beautiful shape!

Dual ovens!  Perfect for large family holiday dinners or dinner parties.

But only the Master oven is clock controlled, unlike with GE, Hotpoint and some others with oven function set switches. They had meat thermometers for many years before and after. When the piece of protein reached the desired temperature the thermometer started buzzing.

Meat thermometers

Wasn't there a Hotpoint that instead of buzzing, played "Tenderly"? That's got to win an award! But I still think this Frigidaire is an absolutely fabulous looking range.
