Legendary actor and filmmaker Robert Redford passed away yesterday at the age of 89. Though he wasn’t as well-known for being a car guy as his buddy Paul Newman, Redford did have a penchant for vintage cars and racing. As it happens, he helped get Newman hooked on motorsports, and the car he did it with, in a remarkable coincidence, also helped make the Nissan Skyline the icon that it is in Japan.
