The owners, Ed and Miki Pease of Narragansett Reproductions have been involved in classic or antique car restoration since 1968. A family business today, Narragansett Reproductions' staff includes Edmund and Eric Pease, involved with antique cars since their childhood. In 1978, realizing the high cost and time consuming process of reproductions and that many owners prefer to do some of their car restoration themselves, the Pease family started marketing wiring harnesses and trim. With newly acquired antique harness and braiding machines and everything else having to do with lacquered and braided wire, the Pease's repositioned the business.
