Did you tried http://oldcarbrochures.org/ for the cars prices ? they're not shown for every car of course but some might interest you for the research.

http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/ very nice, brings some memories like the Nintendo / Super Nintendo ( still have my NES , non-functional but the Zapper still works , my sister has a working SNES ), G1 Transformers and other various toys ( owned or wanted as a kid... )


I used to write too when i was younger...still do sometimes. Stephen King and Dean R. Koontz were ( and still are ) my main inspirations.
