Ed, 
The Kelley Red Book and the Kelley Blue Book are the standard references on
retail and wholesale used car prices respectively.  They are updated every 
two months, I believe.  They can be viewed at banks, libraries, and some
insurance agents.  Most car dealers subscribe, but won't let their customers
anywhere near them. (Some won't admit to ever hearing of them.)  My father
was an independent insurance agent who operated out of our house;  I picked
up a fair amount about the business.  I've never heard of cars being 
appraised any other way, for whatever that's worth.

A car as old as yours would be listed in the Gold Book, not red or blue.
They are a bit harder to find, but the sources are the same.
