The Dawson Car Company was founded by AJ Dawson in 1918.
Dawson had previously been a works manager at Hillman.
They were located in Clay Lane, Stoke, Coventry.
The only car made by the company was the 11-12 hp with a water cooled, four cylinder 1795 cc overhead camshaft engine coupled to a 3 speed gearbox.
It was available in four body styles, most bodied by Charlesworth, and unusually, customers could not buy a chassis only.
Only about 700 cars were produced with final production in 1921.
In 1921 the Triumph Cycle Company Ltd. bought Dawson's premises and fittings in Clay Lane, Stoke, Coventry but no more of the 11-12 models were made.
