The person who made up '6000' should get a marketing refreshment course.
Or is there something behind that type?

Well, they had a Pontiac 1000 based on Chevy Chevette and Pontiac 2000 based on Chevy Cavalier so they might have been working on a theme at one time.

All Pontiacs of the mid-80s got "thousand" names:

T-1000 (Chevette)

J-2000 (Cavalier)

6000 (Celebrity)

The Buick Century in this picture is a "sibling" of the 6000, correct?

Correct... along with the Celebrity and Cutlass Ciera/Cruiser.

Pontiac used these "thousand" names as they sounded more European, which was Pontiac's target in the 80's.

Since it is a wagon the Safari name should be added. Also, this model doesn't appear to have composite headlights so that would make it a 1984-1986.
