A Family Tradition
Our family has been in the window tinting business for three generations ever since our father J.O. Maldonado got started in 1960. In those days, prior to modern day window film, tint was applied in liquid form using a flow-coating machine. Then in 1966, the same year that 3M introduced window film to the world, “J.O.” established Acorn Glass Tinting. Today the tradition continues and although there are variations in brand identity, the Maldonado name remains the same.
1980 Vintage Ad
Throughout the years dad would proudly proclaim, "I never advertised. Our business was generated through referrals based on years of customer satisfaction."
Here is a rare ad which I suspect was placed that year due to the fact that our father just purchased a large home in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
