IML: Shipping old/used windshields

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just out to Lowell Howe's today to pick up some parts and had a really good
visit.  Windy but very pleasant in Patterson.  I mentioned that I had
purchased a new w/s for my 60 from Timo and that it had been shipped very
securely.  Lowell said he doesn't ship used ones because no matter how
carefully packed they crack because they glass becomes so brittle with age.

My guess is that a 68 is less complicated in shape than for a 57 to 66
Imperial so perhaps shipping a used one could work, but no guarantees would
be my advice.
