My friend is looking for info on prices in past years, as a project for a birthday.

The birthday boy wsa born April 1, 1943. She would like pricing of mundane items like bread, milk, barrel of oil, gasoline, car, house etc. for the dates April 1, 1943, 1953, 1963, 1973, 1983, 1993 and 2003.

Anybody have any ideas for sites to search?
