Honda's 50th anniversary in Australia is gold, Jerry, gold!

Thank goodness it's not real gold. Imagine the curb weights!

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Honda first set up shop in Australia on Feb. 4, 1969.

Just ahead of its golden anniversary, it's unveiled a series of one-off gold machines.

It's not limited to cars, either.

These gold paint jobs (or are they wraps?) cover every segment in which Honda hawks its wares.

I won't lie -- gold is not a bad choice for the Civic Type R.

Included in this golden mix are a Civic Type R and NSX, the latter of which wears Honda badges in Australia.

Each golden ticket bears a 50th-anniversary logo somewhere on the body, too.

Honda also extended the shade to its two-wheeled offerings, including a CBR1000RR Fireblade and CRF50F dirt bike.

Okay, pretty much everything in this collection looks good in gold.

Would you rock a Civic Type R or a Fireblade in gold? Are you that ostentatious?
