Is there an online source where I can find old phone book listings?

I don't know of any such site, but there is a company that is bringing old
city directories, which are not the same thing as phone books, online.
This will be a fee-based site.

On line? Absolutely not! In your local public library or the Library of
Congress? Maybe, at best.

You don't say which country.

In the UK, BT has an archive in London, and keeps old phone books on
microfilm.
