SUMMER <strong>2019</strong> | 07 I n an age when mechanics rely on computer diagnostics to repair cars, James Dawson applies a liberal dose of common sense every time he opens a hood in his Humphrey Street shop. Located in Swampscott since 1987, Dawson and his fellow mechanics are familiar sights for town residents and commuters who drive by the shop and its little lot full of sporty and exotic vehicles. The site of a Packard car dealership in the 1920s, Small Wheels is one part labor of love, one part source of pride for Dawson, a Salem resident and Newtown, Connecticut native. On a spring week day, Dawson and his crew were working on a Saab in need of an engine rebuild, a Jaguar XKR with a balky convertible roof, and a BMW with an oil hose leak. Working with a measured pace and patience, Dawson decoupled the faulty hose connection and talked about a love for cars dating back when he was 16 and built a car with parts from 1959, 1960 and 1961 Renaults. Dawson lived in Marblehead from 1970 to 1975 and ran his former Salem shop from 1970 to 1987. Dubbed the Everything has to be very precise -James Dawson From left, Dave Lantych, owner James Dawson, and Arber Theodhor wrestle with a SAAB engine as they try to reconnect it to its transmission.
