Here is my second 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Seville in York Blue color. Sorry, but I noticed the loose trim only after the photos were taken.

The cowl grille should be an easy fix, but the hood side trim moldings are quite sturdy, not a foil but kind of wire. I tried to press them in, but they didn't budge.

@carcass1996 It looks GREAT in that color.  Good luck on the fixes.  I'd screw them up big time.

I received mine today. Stamp forgot to install the Eldorado scripts on the front fenders. Indeed, a very nice model.

Another observation.....the packaging has no mention at all they have used trademarks of GM or Cadillac for this product.

@nickies Richard, does your Cadillac have the lifting trim issue on the front fenders?  My two have it but it's barely noticeable; not to the same degree as this dark blue example.

@jack-dodds Mine is just fine. All chrome trim fit perfectly.

@jack-dodds I purchased the Heather version and I have the fender trim issue. I was able to get the drivers side more flush with some pressure, but not the passenger side.

The third and the last of my '60 Eldorados.

Beautiful color, and the same peeling fender moldings as with the first two.

I went to the manufacturer's official website to look up the color correct name (Carmodel has it listed as lilac),
and the stock photos show the model ony with driver side molding. And this is despite the fact that every tenth model is scrapped.

A company representative wrote at Facebook that many experienced assembly workers have quit (I wonder where? To a factory across the street?).

Well, what can I say? Take care of your staff, guys...

@carcass1996 The color is listed as Heather Metallic on the box.

The Auto Color Library shows it as Heather Poly, which would make Heather metallic accurate.

My 1960 Series 62 LE convertible from Stamp has the same front fender chrome trim but both sides are perfectly flat.  Odd that some of the Sevilles have this issue.

I like the 1960 better than the 1959.  They are/were awful low and I don’t like skirts. But I do think the car is ugly without them. I was too little when my uncle the doctor had one but I have seen pictures. I grew up with him buying a new Cadillac every 5 years.  They would take the skirts off in the winter.  Can’t imagine studded tires and skirts.
