If the car stereo takes a standard head phone jack then any cable will do. You may have to look for a second gen nano. Some stores probably still have them but I think the Apple store is pretty much all 3rd gen.
As for accessories you can find things all over. The Apple Store is a good place to look. They have a bunch of things in Five Below which vary widely in quality but there is a good variety. MicroCentre has lots of accessories as well. I have an alarm clock with an iPod dock/Clock Radio I got at Bed Bath and Beyond which is very nice. Borders has a Sony Dock/Clock Radio for $99.99. Lots of stuff at the Sharper Image. I got a really nice hard case at The Container Store for $5 for my wife's Nano.
