This looks like a later model. How long were ranges of this type made?

That One's....
....Pretty recent; current models use the same basic architecture.
I think you should go and take a look at it in person. I looked at one of these when they were new, and found it pretty flimsy, nothing like classic Frigidaires. That broken storage drawer handle should give you a bit of a clue.
I think this one is a self-cleaner, in the large oven.

Run away as fast as you can!
Robot with arms flailing, "Warning Will Robinson: stay away; cheap crap."
Note the handle construction on the storage drawer. That was not early American decor with two knobs, but the anchor points of a cheap, broken handle.

OH so right!
That is CHEAPNESS personified, I knew someone who had the Kelvinator version, the oven door turned yellow in a few years,one, because it was painted not porcelian and two because the door has no insulation in it....none!

Stoves like this...
were a huge part of what made us go vintage. We looked at new coil stoves; the technology really hasn't changed much, but the quality sure has. You could probably get a vintage 40" that's way better built for less.

My neighbor Ruth just got rid of a Kenmore version of this range. Hers was black with a stainless or brushed chrome top. She just about despised it; it came with the house when they bought it.
I agree; anthing that's NEW and FORTY:
--Is very much a lot of planned obsolescence there!
Anything that's THIRTY-INCHES & cheaper in price & quantity is at least MORE better made!
