Flashback Autos steam ahead in Lompoc's early days
The article recalls Lompoc's first steam driven autos around 1900, with Dr. H C Dimock and William Hall bringing one from Los Angeles. It notes rapid early travel, road and rail dynamics, garages like Bell and Canfield, and early events such as A E Canfield winning a 50 mile race in 1913. By 1920 traffic tickets became common and an auto safety campaign formed.
