Peter, your clip-art site certainly is extensive! There should be something there for just about any subject!
If you wouldn't mind educating me, though: What exactly is the purpose of clip-art?  I have noticed that most clip-art sources have what I would call "goofy" art: simple, casually sketched, sometimes distorted, sometimes humorous. I have seen newsletters use it as fillers for that odd space that needs something; or sometimes to illustrate a headline. But (and please don't get me wrong), I can't see that any serious publication would be using clip-art. I can't imagine National Geographic or Fortune or our own Antique Automobile using the typical clip-art illustration.
What would be especially useful, in my opinion, would be a source of more "serious" illustrations: an attractive detailed illustration of an actual car from the '50's, for example, rather than a generic distorted one; or a detailed pen-and-ink drawing of a street scene from the 1910's; or a stipple portrait of Henry Ford a la The Wall Street Journal.
I hope you'll take this question and suggestion only in the positive vein it was intended! Thanks.
