Following is a timeline for Dalton models. I have a pretty good feeling for models made in 1999 and later. The list may not be as accurate for models made before 1999. In some cases below, I have estimated the start and end production dates. However, most of the dates are based on when they first hit the streets. Note that I am not including any models in the list which I can't date to within at least the year. There are quite a few that fall in this category. If you have any more accurate dating info, please let me know.
