First pic is a 1986 model.

I think (if I look at your other comments) you're thinking in US model years, but on webcarstory, we put cars in production years. So if this car went on sale as an '86 MY, but the sales started in 1985, we do 1985-. Okay?
Otherwise, you'll find that all the American cars I put on the site are wrong, but that's just because I put them in production years, not US model years.

Yes, you're right. The picture is an 1986 model but it doesn't mean that started in 1986. In WebCarStory we do the prodution years, NOT in US model years. The Celebrity was produced from 1985.

For example: I put Fiat Punto. The official sale just began in 1994 but it started the prodution in 1993. So we put 1993.

Did you even read my comment? I said the exact same thing.

Why the production years?? If the year models come out the previous year, why not list them from the year range they got significantly changed?

@ Ford78: I wasn't referring just to US models.

AFAIK the whole world except for North America uses production years, so our notations should be accurate. If this car came out in september '85, in the US they would call an '86, but that kind of thing just wouldn't make sense on European or Japanese cars. We could opt for using both notations, but I think that would make everything confusing.
