Awesome condition!
I have never seen a factory plug in griddle like that either. Same color as our kitchen was growing up, my next door neighbor now would kill for it.

The range appears to be well-preserved, even to include the griddle and the meat probe. However, it is missing a piece of tempered glass that should be between the cooking surface and the elevated console. The glass was translucent and shows up in this photo of a yellow range. This range is typical of some of GE's great late 50's styling - just like Robert's latest turquoise washer.

Plug in Griddle
I have a TOL Hotpoint from the 50's that has one of those griddles.

I think it's not bad looking, would be better in turquoise though. I'd miss having a window on the door ,
I'm bam-boozeled a TOL or near TOL range only had one 8" element.
Here are the stats on this model 30" GE. Beautiful in pink and stored for 30 years!! Makes the heart jump!
The griddle was not electric. The plugs on the griddle interlocked the operation of the rear element with the thermostatic unit in front. Only the outer set of rings on the front 8" unit heated to even the heat input between front and back and the theory was that by the time the heat traveled to the thermostat in the center of the unit, the heat would have reached the edges of the griddle.
It was not uncommon at that time for 30" ranges to have only 1 8 inch element. We have the same stove in white. This is very much a transitional range for GE. It has new squared edge styling. The old, round clock with the complicated Timed Bake procedure was in its last year of use. GE would introduce the simplified clock, minute timer and separate start and stop dials by 1958.
