What an assortment of cars. Almost rivals Jay Leno's collection.

For a car lover he would have been someone worth knowing!
He had a car collection of over 600 cars with a value of $100+ million. A 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Atalante, JFK's 1962 Lincoln Bubble Top limo, Seven Duesenbergs, a 1911 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost from "Titanic". Whew!!!
He had an Ex-Con that managed his collection, and the dude copped him of a 1965 Ford Shelby GT350 and a Ferrari 575M. The guy should have known better that to swipe collector cars from a Millionaire Lawyer! Duh!
