In 1975, Special T Unlimited was born from the garage of Lou and Carmen Baldo. Shortly after, the business was moved to Hillside, Illinois, where it is still located today. 49 years later and the Baldo brothers can still be found managing the business. In 2014, Carmen’s daughter, Carli, joined her family in the business. Since then, several other family members have been helpful in the business.
Right along Butterfield Road, you'll find our friendly staff in our showroom with every sales tool you'll ever need.
