Absolutely!
Ah DeSotos, true ships of the road. A classmate's family had one of the last ones with BIG FINS. They were among the first of the beautiful cars that I cared about to be discontinued. A very kind neighbor who got a 33" LK combo drove Lincoln Marks and I remember a sense of loss when those went out of production also.

A bit too expensive (!!!) but there are some nice pictures of it. I was also wondering what was the name of this Tappan 400 clone for a while.
According to the description, it's "Contempo".

Those burners..
Are a Tappan design, they were great, their are no ports , just a slot around the top, the flame burns in kind of a sheet of flame..the top piece comes out easily and they are the easiest gas burners ever to clean, OK and M must have had a deal with Tappan.

The name was OK&M west of the Mississloppi and Tappan to the East.

This one is listed in NYC, were there still a few dealers on the east coast? I'm wondering if the same applied in Canada. There used to be many Tappan and Tappan-Gurney appliances in Quebec (but not much or even not at all after the late-1960s), but I've never seen OK&M here. How about the western provinces?
