Nifty chocolate milk colored 1958 GE range

[mom11]

Found this today on craigslist. Such a cool color. I have always liked this chocola tey brown color more than the more common shaded browns. Of course, it's one of those "make me an offer" ads that I hate. They should just name a price and start from there. Still, I thought this range was really cool.

That's GE's "Woodtone Brown" color option.

 

The seller considers the stove a candidate for restoration, so might let it go cheap.

They say its a '58, but actually is either a '55 or '56 model. That particular cabinet style was only used for the '54, '55 and '56 models, and was the first style made at AP in Louisville. The new straight-line styling began with the '57 model year. There must have been a huge amount of these ranges made in that short time span, as we see lots of them for sale on here.
