Thanks kindly for the info- I forgot about Ford, thinking only about
the GM Cadillacs that had the Laurel Wreaths in their design logo. But
if the older company, Ford, had the original wreath design for their
car logos, why did they give part of it over when Cadillac went to
GM? I thought a logo was a big trademark and copyright issue, espc.
for huge companies like Ford and GM. (BTW, thanks also to the other
poster's suggestion to get some photos up. That did the trick.)
