Too wide My oven cabinet is 24” wide and up against a wall on one side. There is no give at all. Anything over 24” will not fit. | ||

Have the existing wall over professionally painted. May not be vintage, but it will match and work.. | ||

Something like this Hotpoint "should" work in a 24" cabinet. These Hotpoint built-ins were used in several subdivisions in NE Atlanta in the late 1950's. They do turn up on Atlanta CL.
Also, GE produced wall ovens for 24" cabinets starting in the mid 1960's and continuing for a couple of decades. Not overly popular, but necessary for the existing home market as older wall ovens wore out or as owners updated (especially to get the self-cleaning feature).

Frigidaire ovens All GM produced Frigidaire ovens were made to fit a 24" cabinet, even the double oven models. I saw an early french door model in Stainless on Search Tempest, I believe in PA | ||

My bad With the exception of the Flair and the rare 30” oven! However the more common 24” ovens are plentiful even today. I assume that is due to the over building Frigidaire was known for. I could be wrong..... | ||

Wall Oven
I hope you wont be offended but I would rip the part with the oven/cook top out and start over as it is not a good arrangement to start with to have the cook top jammed in such a small space beside those two tall cabinets.
There are then many options open to you if you do - you could have a conventional range of whatever size, age or colour you chose, or the Flair which you particularly mention with a smaller cabinet beside it. A Flair (or that style) might not be a feasible option though, given its proximity to the door to the right, given that the cook top needs to pull out. Or a larger wall oven and a cooktop set into a larger counter space to give you more working room. I think it would make the room look more spacious too. You would need to be careful if you wanted the re-use the pink tile although as there does not seem to be any pink tile in the other shots of the kitchen maybe that would not be such an issue. And of course the doors, if not the complete cabinets, can be re-used to match the rest of your kitchen and keep the integrity of the look. I guess my point is that you should not allow your choices to be restricted by something that was not a good design in the first place. Al | ||

I believe GE also had 24" wall ovens in the early self cleaning years for situations just such as yours so that a customer could transition from a 24" gas to a 24" self cleaning electric with just a rewiring job. | ||

Here's a pair in SC If you're still considering options - here's a pair, basic, but should fit a 24" cabinet. Should be model no. RJ16, mid 1960's.
Greenville, SC

Hotpoint wall oven!
I had the same exact model as the lower oven without the window! It was very basic but cooked real good! It did have a light when you opened the door and didn't heat the kitchen up when it cooked like a gas range! It was about a 1968 model cause that was when the complex I lived in before this one was built!

Would these work? Just listed today, but no dimensions given. The installation looks very similar to your setup

I have to go with taking it all out
This setup is not ergonomically correct even for 1956. We used to have a setup like this, but one side of the cooktop was open counter. Even so it was awkward, as there was no space to the right of the cooktop. I would recommend getting appropriate cabinets that are like you have and having a range, that way there is space on both sides for pans and utensils as you cook. I would keep the hood, the pink tile, but a range setup will work much better. Perhaps the old cabinets can be used somewhere else in the house? I would draw something but I don't know how here. I find it's much easier to cook when there is space on both sides of a range.
