Paul Newman's car collection headed to auction
The will of actor and race car driver Paul Newman has been filed and read, revealing who gets the things he left behind. His wife, Joanne Woodward, get his Westport estate and art collection while his salad dressing business goes to the Newman's Own Foundation. That charitable organization also will get Newman's Oscar he won for his work in "The Color of Money."
But the thing we're most interested in, the man's collection of race cars, might go to you. If you're the highest bidder, that is. Newman's will orders that all his cars be sold at auction with the proceeds to be returned to his estate.
We can't find anything indicating when these cars might go on the block, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything. You can read the whole will online here.

Hopefully through some turn of events they end up at Goodwood next year. Seems fitting
