Dunno about logos, but Cadillac was in business years before Ford, and
Ford's 
original "logo" was Henry Ford's signature. I'm not sure when the cats
first 
appeared, but I remember them as one quadrant of the Ford ****eld in the
50's (I 
think the 1950 Ford my father had). The wreath was special to only a few
models.
