Subaru of America is celebrating 50 years of selling vehicles in the U.S. by producing anniversary editions of its vehicles that will be offered in limited numbers, the company announced.

The 50th Anniversary Edition models will be offered in the 2018 model year. Production quantities have been set at 1,050 vehicles for Outback, Legacy, Forester, Impreza, and Crosstrek. Subaru will offer a combined total of 1,050 of WRX, STI, and BRZ.

The models will carry the Heritage Blue exterior color, satin chrone exterior trim and badging, alloy wheels, and side mirrors with satin chrome. The cabins will feature black upholstery with silver stitching, silver seatbelts, and the 50th anniversary logo embroidered on front seats and floor mats.

The 50th Anniversary Outback will retail for at least $35,995 for the 2.5i Limited. A comparable non-anniversary model would retail for $33,610.
