Nice finds Phil, the avocado Custom Deluxe stove is the same I have at home. And I also have the same 1959 Custom Imperial.

I'd like to get the Avocado Custom Imperial, it's a 9 hour drive from where I live...
I have emailed the seller...

The Magazine

Such a wonderful review from the past is contained within the link to the magazine. Thanks for sharing. The advertisements alone cause an appliance lover to lust - Frigidaire, Maytag, Air-conditioners, Whirlpool - and the Cadillac - wow! What a time in America's history when quality and substance were the standard in so many ways!

Nine hours! I guess my limit has been 3-4 but...you only live once! (or twice, if you're James Bond).

That stove has infrared heaters? That magazine ad is awesome. Thanks for posting.

and to go along with Oldskool's comments, there's something cool about vintage ads - maybe it's the unique designs of the appliances from that era. Duh.

I didn't hear back from the seller of the Avocado Custom Imperial range in Austintown but the seller of the other avocado range should send me the instructions manual that was pictured in the ad!

Pretty in Pink. Frigidaire RD-20-56.

It’s amazing how beautiful Frigidaire’s low-end stuff used to be.  Really beautiful.  And really pink!!!

Frigidaire RCDG-39K in yellow.

In good cosmetic shape but with a couple of (probably fixable) problems. Is this Sunny Yellow?

 

What’s the mantra here?  Too far, too far, too far.

Sticking this in here...

...because I didn't want to waste space creating a whole new thread. This is from a current TV ad for a vacuum cleaner. A nice vintage Philco (I think) electric range. You have to look closely to catch it.
