I don't know precisely, as I did not grow up in your part of the world.
In the US I recall buying gasoline at 29 cents a gallon and that $100,000 would have bought you the best house in the county (Milwaukee) The minimum wage was $1.25 at the time; I know this because I worked for it a while. You could, and I did, get on a bus for 25 cents.
The rest of your questions cannot be answered by anyone who did not grow up in British Columbia.

Your town will have a museum, with photos and such.
I've seen phtos of Toronto in those times, and WOW, what a difference!
