The last time the Toronto Maples Leafs
won the coveted Stanley Cup NHL Championship was in 1967.
That would mark the last Cup tournament held among the "Original Six"
National Hockey League teams. Toronto mucked through a so-so regular
season, finishing third with 75 points, 19 points behind the first-place
Montreal Canadiens. But, in the playoffs, things fell into place. Toronto
beat Chicago in five games in the semi-finals. In the final against
Montreal, the Leafs snapped a 2-2 series deadlock by upsetting the
Canadiens at the Montreal Forum. They clinched the Cup in six games.

This 1967 Corvette L-88 (one of
only
20 L-88s built in 1967) made
its racing
debut at Le Mans. This
car
was "DRIVEN"
to the track from the airport (in place of
being trailered) because the trailer
was
chuck full of parts!
Maybe you own one
of the other 19 L-88s?
