Default DamilerChrysler files for Muscle Car Name Patient!

Found this over on allpar.com... someone posted this which states that DaimlerChrysler has filed for the patient of the SuperBee name in Canada! Does this mean a special edition Dodge Charger model (1971 Dodge Charger had the SuperBee option)? Here is the link...

Default DamilerChrysler files for Muscle Car Name Patient!

OK, Chrysler Group a few weeks ago signed for the patient of the name "Super Bee" in Canada! With the debut of the new 2006 Dodge Charger coming soon, it could mean a special edition Charger Super Bee model! Dodge had the Super Bee name on the Coronet from 1968-1970, then when the 1971-1974 B-bodies showed up the Coronet was then turned into a four-door model sedan. Charger, because of the two-door status, then got the Super Bee name, which was only carried by the Charger in 1971, and was produced in very limited numbers. The Super Bee name was dropped after 1971!

Here are two advertisements for the 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee, the only year the Super Bee was on the Charger!

DCX has at least 2 assy plants in Ontario Canada, they build the new 300 series, Magnum and soon the new "Charger". Also they build minivans in Windsor along with the Pacifica. Untill recently the built fullsize vans there too.
I have seen afew short box ram pickups with bumble bee stripes on the local dealer lots, maybe they are the Super bee brand , I am not sure.
