So as I thought your memory is just fine John! Ya can't expect to remember ...
Every year make and model that DM and FM has offered. When I began collecting I used to remember each and every year of all the models in my collection, but now .... forget it! I have over 215 and while I know EVERY car in my collection, I don't know the exact year of each. For example, I forget if the yellow Bearcat is a 1912 or 1915. I think its a 1915 and the Black FM cadillac is a 1911 or 1912. Again I am close but forgot. Several years ago and some 100+ less models I knew year,make,models. No more! LOL

Pretty well, but it has to be seen in person
The FM model is a pretty good representation of the 1:1 - they did an expecially good job of capturing the upholstery.
The 1:1 has had a repaint since it was used as the model - the area behind the cowl molding is now a lighter blue. What the model can't capture is the extenive use of wood inlays in the interior. For example, each of the door caps has a lighter color wood inlayed into a darker surround, separated by a thin brass strip -- remember, Jacques Saouchik started out as a cabinet maker in Imperail Russia
