Best place to find a windshield?

Need a new tinted Carlite windshield for my 65 convertible...do I look for used, buy a repro, or call my local auto glass shop? I'd like the correct logo, what's a reasonable price? Would even take a nice used one with no pits or scratches, but don't wanna ship it and risk breakage. Within 200 miles of St. Louis would be ideal! THANKS!!

NPD has Carlite. Of course, you should shop locally first. NPD is about $350 as I recollect. I paid $230 last year for LOF glass.
check out this recent post or do a forum search on cheap windshield with the AND operator, and you will get all kinds of info. I have heard good things about Express Glass and Paint in Houma,LA

Also, the parts wanted will help.
There is a guy in Joplin that sells brand new ones for 150. Might be worth a trip. I can get more info if needed. I had a friend pick one up just about a month ago.

Thanks for the tip....give me the guy's contact info, I don't mind used but it's gotta be SUPER nice...no pits, scratches or repairs. Tough to find on an original!
I just checked with NPD, and they dont sell the carlite windshields anymore, and if they did, the cost was over a grand apiece.
