I suppose calling this a Frigidaire is an acceptable mistake for a novice. Most of these I have seen seen are in ugly shape. This one looks good. In San Diego @ $300.

I think if you look really, reeeeely close it says "Fabulous 400" on the oven door.

It's funny how a lot of these seem to have been sold around where I live. A few people I know recalled that their parents used to have a very similar Tappan when they see my Flair! I still see a few for sale but they are often in less than nice shape, the chopping block is often in bad shape on the 40" models but they also seen to have more issues with burners.
I have also seen houses who were originally built with Tappan built-ins but if the oven remains, the cooktop is usually gone. I think they didn't survive as well as Frigidaires, but they are nice-looking.
I have never seen the Hotpoint Hallmark version here. I don't think it was available in Canada.
One thing I don't like about some later-model Canadian Tappan 400 like the one above is the strange location for the fuse panel door.
See it on these pics... |
