How do you filter a collection of objects in a base class depending on the type of subclass created?

Question

I wrote this example to help explain. As you can see, I have a hierarchy of objects. I would like to modify the GetFeatures () function to only return functions added by the constructor of the instance of object I that was created. For example, BasicModel.GetFeatures (the new LuxuryModel ()) should return only the Leather Seat and Sunroof functions. I am not against using reflection if I need to.

Public Class Feature

    Public Sub New(ByVal model As BasicModel, ByVal description As String)
        _model = model
        _description = description
    End Sub

    Private _model As BasicModel
    Public Property Model() As BasicModel
        Get
            Return _model
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As BasicModel)
            _model = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Private _description As String
    Public Property Description() As String
        Get
            Return _description
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _description = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class


Public Class BasicModel
    Public Sub New()
        _features = New List(Of Feature)
    End Sub

    Private _features As List(Of Feature)

    Public ReadOnly Property Features() As List(Of Feature)
        Get
            Return _features
        End Get
    End Property

    Public Shared Function GetFeatures(ByVal model As BasicModel) As List(Of Feature)
        'I know this is wrong, but something like this...'
        Return model.Features.FindAll(Function(f) f.Model.GetType() Is model.GetType())
    End Function
End Class


Public Class SedanModel
    Inherits BasicModel

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
        Features.Add(New Feature(Me, "Fuzzy Dice"))
        Features.Add(New Feature(Me, "Tree Air Freshener"))
    End Sub
End Class


Public Class LuxuryModel
    Inherits SedanModel

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
        Features.Add(New Feature(Me, "Leather Seats"))
        Features.Add(New Feature(Me, "Sunroof"))
    End Sub
End Class

In your base class, create a virtual method that returns functions, in your decendent classes it overrides a property, polymorphism allows your variables as a basicmodel type if they were created as a descendant type to return the correct list.

  public class BasicModel
  {
    public virtual IEnumerable<Feature> GetFeatures 
    {
      get
      {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
      }
    }
  }


  public class LuxuryModel :BasicModel
  {
    public override IEnumerable<Feature> GetFeatures
    {
      get
      {
        yield return new Feature() { Name = "Leather Seats" };
        yield return new Feature() { Name = "Sunroof" };
      }
    }
  }



private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

  BasicModel bm = new LuxuryModel();

  foreach (Feature f in bm.GetFeatures)
  {
    sb.AppendLine(f.Name);
  }
  MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());
}
