  • Damsels of Design: How Women Changed American Car Design in 1958

    Damsels of Design: How Women Changed American Car Design in 1958

    BTLPR’s Sean Hixson Tells Their Story — Including the Iconic Fancy Free Corvette — in National Corvette Museum’s Official Magazine

    They were doing user-centered design work decades before that phrase existed. The fact that their contributions were largely forgotten is exactly why stories like this need to be told.”
    — Sean Hixson

    SAINT LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sean Hixson, founder of the automotive marketing comms firm BTLPR, authored a feature on the GM Damsels of Design for the Spring 2026 issue of America’s Sports Car, the flagship members-only publication of the National Corvette Museum.

    The story, which traces a pivotal but largely forgotten chapter in GM and Corvette history, was later featured on Corvette Today with Steve Garrett, the only podcast dedicated entirely to Corvette.

    The Damsels of Design were a group of eight to nine credentialed women designers assembled by GM design chief Harley Earl in 1958. Recruited from industrial design, fashion, textiles, and interior design, they weren’t entry-level hires. Each had an established professional career before GM. Earl embedded them directly into the design studios alongside male designers, gave them real assignments across GM’s brand portfolio, and put their work on public display at the 1958 Spring Fashion Festival of Women Designed Cars at the GM Building in Detroit — the first time an automaker presented a cohesive collection of cars designed specifically by women.

    The Damsels rethought how people actually live with cars. Their work touched storage for everyday items, seat adjustability, ergonomic controls sized for a broader range of drivers, trunk organization, instrument clarity, and interior fabric choices. These weren’t cosmetic additions. They were usability upgrades that addressed real, everyday problems the mainstream studio had never prioritized. Many of the features they introduced quietly made their way into production vehicles in the years that followed.

    One of the most recognized cars from the exhibition was a Corvette. Designer Ruth Glennie reimagined the Fancy Free, producing coordinated interior and exterior tones, purposeful storage, and what was reported to be an early form of retractable seat belt. The exterior stayed unmistakably Corvette. The Fancy Free is currently on display at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.

    Working with the curators at the Museum, Hixson also partnered with the GM Design Archive and Special Collections in Detroit, working with archivist Larry Kinsel to access imagery and documentation not widely published elsewhere.

    “These weren’t women brought in to put a bow on a car,” Hixson said. “They were doing user-centered design work decades before that phrase existed. The fact that their contributions were largely forgotten is exactly why stories like this need to be told.”

    The assignment reflects the depth of BTLPR’s two-year partnership with the National Corvette Museum. Over that period, BTLPR has generated nearly one billion earned media impressions and placed more than 500 stories in national automotive and lifestyle outlets including Hagerty, Car and Driver, The Manual, CarBuzz, Yahoo Sports, and Supercar Blondie. BTLPR has also developed the Museum’s Brand Book, contributed long-form editorial to its magazine, and supported a select website redesign.

    “Hixson’s deep understanding of the automotive space and his relentless commitment to storytelling have made him an invaluable extension of our team,” said Ryan Eichler, Director of Marketing and Communications at the National Corvette Museum.

    Hixson brings nearly 20 years of automotive marketing and communications experience to BTLPR, including work with ExxonMobil’s Fuels and Lubricants division across Mobil 1, NASCAR, Formula 1, IMSA, and NHRA, as well as iconic OEMs like GM, Porsche, and Michelin. BTLPR works exclusively with automotive brands and institutions.

  • Ironmart Online Expands Inventory of Asphalt Pavers and Milling Equipment for Paving Contractors

    Ironmart Online Expands Inventory of Asphalt Pavers and Milling Equipment for Paving Contractors

    FLANDERS, NJ, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Asphalt paving companies across the United States are preparing for a busy construction season. Contractors are looking for dependable equipment to handle road construction, parking lot resurfacing, and driveway paving projects. Reliable machinery helps paving crews stay efficient, and buying well-maintained used equipment can help companies control costs while maintaining strong performance.

    IronmartOnline is expanding its inventory of asphalt paving equipment to support contractors of all sizes, including driveway paving companies, parking lot contractors, road construction companies, and asphalt milling specialists.

    A wide range of paving equipment is available, including asphalt pavers, milling machines, rollers, crack sealing equipment, distributor trucks, and heavy-duty trailers designed to transport paving machinery between job sites.

    IronmartOnline stocks asphalt pavers used for residential driveway paving, commercial parking lot paving, and municipal road construction. These machines are built to place asphalt smoothly and consistently across projects of many sizes.

    Popular models currently in demand include the Leeboy 8510C, Leeboy 8500D, and Leeboy 8520. These pavers are widely used by contractors because they are reliable, productive, and versatile enough for both smaller parking lots and larger paving jobs.

    Along with pavers, asphalt milling contractors rely on cold planers to remove old pavement before resurfacing. Milling machines grind away damaged asphalt so crews can apply fresh pavement with proper surface preparation. Contractors often look for machines such as Bomag cold planers and Wirtgen W-series mills when preparing roads and parking lots for repaving.

    Paving crews also depend on support equipment to complete projects efficiently. Asphalt distributor trucks apply tack coats between asphalt layers, crack sealing kettles help maintain pavement, and vibratory rollers compact asphalt to create durable surfaces.

    For contractors starting a paving business or expanding their fleet, purchasing used asphalt equipment can be a practical option. Reliable used machines allow companies to increase productivity while keeping costs manageable. Choosing the right equipment based on machine size, hours, and project needs helps ensure paving crews have the tools required for the job.

  • Surety Business Launches Affordable Plug-and-Play Fleet Tracking for SMBs

    Surety Business Launches Affordable Plug-and-Play Fleet Tracking for SMBs

    New service powered by Alarm.com Connected Fleet delivers GPS tracking, fuel reports, and vehicle diagnostics at $8-15/vehicle/month with no contracts

    SMBs deserve fleet visibility without enterprise complexity. We built this to be simple, affordable, and contract-free.”
    — Ryan Boder, Surety Founder

    COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Surety Business, the self-managed commercial security provider, has launched an affordable fleet tracking and telematics service designed specifically for small and mid-size businesses. Built on the Alarm.com Connected Fleet platform, the new service gives SMB operators real-time GPS tracking, fuel monitoring, maintenance alerts, and driver behavior insights at a fraction of the cost of traditional fleet management solutions — starting at just $12 per vehicle per month as a security system add-on with volume discounts and no long-term commitment.

    The fleet telematics market has long been dominated by enterprise-focused platforms like Geotab, Samsara and Verizon Connect, which often require multi-year contracts and monthly costs of $25 to $50 or more per vehicle. For a plumbing company with six vans or a delivery service with a dozen vehicles, those platforms are often overkill in both complexity and cost. Surety Business Fleet was built to fill that gap.

    Setup takes minutes, not appointments. Each vehicle gets an Alarm.com Car Connector — a compact device that plugs directly into the standard OBD-II diagnostic port found in virtually every vehicle manufactured since 1996. There are no wires to run, no tools required, and no technician to schedule. The device connects over LTE cellular and includes a built-in battery backup, so it continues reporting even if vehicle power is interrupted or the connector is unplugged.

    Once connected, business owners gain access to a cloud-based dashboard supporting up to 100 vehicles per business location. Core capabilities include real-time GPS tracking on a live map, customizable geofence alerts for when vehicles enter or exit designated areas, fuel consumption and efficiency reports, idle time monitoring, trip history logs with distance and duration, OBD-II vehicle diagnostics and maintenance alerts, and driver behavior monitoring for speeding, hard braking, and rapid acceleration. Fleet Trip Reports can be generated on demand or delivered automatically via email on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis — ready for accounting, compliance, or operations review without additional formatting.

    Industry data indicates that SMB fleets lose an estimated $1,000 or more per vehicle per year to operational inefficiencies including excess fuel consumption, unnecessary idling, and deferred maintenance. Businesses that implement telematics typically realize 10 to 20 percent fuel savings by identifying and addressing these issues. At $8 to $15 per vehicle per month, the service can pay for itself within the first few months of use.

    One of the most distinctive aspects of Surety Business Fleet is its integration with the broader Alarm.com business security ecosystem. Business owners who use Alarm.com for commercial intrusion detection, video surveillance, or access control can add fleet tracking to the same platform — one login, one app, one bill, and integrated user management across all services. This unified approach eliminates the need to manage separate vendors for facility security and vehicle tracking, a common pain point for SMB operators juggling multiple systems.

    The service is available in two configurations: as a standalone fleet telematics system for businesses that need vehicle tracking only, or as a discounted add-on to an existing Surety Business security system. Volume pricing applies, with per-vehicle costs decreasing as fleet size increases. There are no contracts, setup fees, or cancellation penalties.

    Surety Business operates on a self-managed model — no mandatory technician visits, no sales pressure, and transparent pricing published online. The company is part of the Surety family of brands, which has earned the Alarm.com Gold Partner Award for five consecutive years for its monitored security alarm and video surveillance service.

    Surety Business is available nationwide. Businesses interested in fleet tracking can learn more and get started at https://surety.business/fleet.

    * Operational deployment of AI models without data science teams

    The partnership enables industrial teams to progress along a clear value chain:

    Data Capture → Data Contextualization → AI Model Development → Real-Time Inference → Operational Decision Support

    Rather than exporting historian data into disconnected analytics environments, the native integration allows SORBA.ai to work directly within the industrial data ecosystem, shortening deployment cycles from months to weeks.

    Accelerating Time to Value for Industrial Enterprises

    For manufacturers, energy operators, water utilities, and process industries, the benefits of this integrated stack are immediate and measurable:

    Faster Predictive Maintenance Deployment – Historical asset data stored in Canary can be immediately leveraged to train SORBA.ai models for failure prediction and reliability improvement.

    Improved Process Optimization – Decades of archived production data become usable training sets for advanced regression and optimization models.

    Reduced Integration Costs – Native connectivity reduces the need for custom ETL pipelines and third-party data engineering layers.

    Enterprise Scalability – The historian remains the backbone, while AI capabilities scale across sites and regions.

    Secure, On-Premises AI Enablement – For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements, both platforms support on-prem deployment, ensuring operational data never leaves the enterprise boundary.

    “This partnership represents a foundational shift in how industrial organizations operationalize AI,” said Bryan Thyken, Chief Revenue Officer of SORBA.ai. “By integrating directly with Canary Historian, we eliminate friction between data storage and intelligence. Customers can move from historical data to predictive insight in a streamlined, secure, and scalable manner.”

    Designed for the Modern Industrial Architecture

    Modern industrial enterprises require:

    * Unified Namespace (UNS) strategies

    * Historian-centric architectures

    * Secure edge-to-enterprise data flows

    * AI capabilities embedded directly into operations

    The Canary–SORBA.ai partnership supports these architectural goals by ensuring historian data is not merely stored, but activated.

    With SORBA.ai leveraging the historian as a foundational layer, customers gain a future-proof architecture where AI is no longer an experimental add-on, but a native operational capability.

    A Stronger Ecosystem for Industrial Innovation

    Together, Canary Labs and SORBA.ai are delivering more than interoperability, they are delivering an integrated intelligence layer for industrial transformation.

    By aligning historian infrastructure with AI enablement in a cohesive, native stack, the partnership empowers organizations to:
    Maximize asset uptime

    * Improve production yield

    * Reduce operational risk

    * Enhance decision-making at every level

    This strategic collaboration reinforces both companies’ commitment to enabling practical, scalable, and secure digital transformation for industrial enterprises worldwide.

  • Thirty Years of Industry Excellence Powers DallasAutos4Less into Its Second Decade at Garland

    Thirty Years of Industry Excellence Powers DallasAutos4Less into Its Second Decade at Garland

    Buy-here-pay-here dealership on South Garland Avenue since 2014 has built a loyal Dallas County customer base through in-house financing and bilingual service.

    GARLAND, TX, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — DallasAutos4Less has surpassed 11 years of continuous operation at 2660 S. Garland Avenue, a milestone that places the dealership among the longer-running independent used car retailers in the North Texas market. The business, founded in June 2014 by Managing Member Trung M. Tang, draws on more than 30 years of combined automotive industry experience to serve buyers across Garland, Sachse, Rowlett, Richardson, Mesquite, and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth region.

    The dealership holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, a distinction that carries particular weight in the buy-here-pay-here segment, where consumer skepticism runs high and regulatory scrutiny from agencies like the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner is constant. DallasAutos4Less has maintained that rating since its BBB file was opened in October 2015.

    Independent used car lots face steep operational hurdles that make long-term survival difficult. Dealers in the BHPH space must balance vehicle acquisition costs, internal loan portfolios, default risk, and reconditioning expenses while complying with federal Truth in Lending Act requirements and state-level consumer protection standards. According to industry data from the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, more than one in three borrowers default on buy-here-pay-here loans nationally, which makes the financial discipline required to operate profitably for over a decade a notable achievement.

    Tang built the operation around an underwriting model that evaluates employment stability and income capacity rather than relying on credit scores alone. That approach has resonated in Garland, a city of roughly 245,000 residents where the median household income sits at $74,717 and approximately 31% of the population is foreign-born. The dealership’s bilingual sales and financing staff serves a community where more than 36% of households speak Spanish at home.

    “When we opened this lot in 2014, the goal was to build something that outlasts the transaction,” said Trung M. Tang, Managing Member of DallasAutos4Less. “Eleven years later, we still see customers from our first year on the lot. That only happens when you put a solid vehicle under someone and give them financing terms they can actually manage.”

    The dealership currently maintains an active inventory of more than 50 vehicles spanning sedans, trucks, SUVs, and vans. Each vehicle undergoes mechanical inspection before listing and ships with a dealer warranty covering engine, differential, and air conditioning components. Buyers also receive a complimentary oil change and full interior detail at the time of purchase, benefits that remain uncommon among independent BHPH operations.

    DallasAutos4Less in Garland, TX also operates an on-site service department, allowing customers to return for post-purchase repairs without coordinating with third-party shops. Staff members handle warranty claims, routine maintenance, and mechanical issues directly, with flexible payment arrangements available for repair costs outside warranty coverage.

    The dealership’s referral program offers an additional incentive structure: customers who refer five buyers who complete purchases receive full payoff of their remaining vehicle balance. The program reflects a retention-focused business model that treats each sale as the beginning of a longer relationship rather than a single transaction.

    DallasAutos4Less is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Financing applications are available online or in person at the Garland showroom.

    About DallasAutos4Less
    DallasAutos4Less is an independently owned buy-here-pay-here dealership located at 2660 S. Garland Ave in Garland, Texas. Founded in 2014, the dealership specializes in in-house vehicle financing for buyers across all credit situations, including those with no credit history or past financial setbacks. The operation includes vehicle sales, on-site financing, mechanical inspections, dealer warranty coverage, and a full-service repair department. DallasAutos4Less serves Garland, Sachse, Rowlett, Plano, Richardson, Mesquite, and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.

    USA-Assembled eBikes from eBliss Global Shipping April 2026

    UTICA, NY, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — eBliss Global, Inc. is proud to announce that its USA-assembled eBikes under The Ride Bikes brand will begin shipping in April 2026. These eBikes are being built at the company’s newly acquired 3+ acre campus in Utica, New York.

    “This is an incredibly exciting time for us,” said William Klehm, Chairman and CEO eBliss Global. “Our programs are in full swing, and we are focused on addressing the needs of our retailers, our users and all our stakeholders.”

    On a mission to deliver a Fun Great Ride (FGR™), eBliss Global is rapidly advancing U.S. eBike manufacturing. The company offers a curated line of high-quality products and dealer support programs designed to excite independent bicycle dealers nationwide. These eBikes are assembled by Americans, owned by Americans, and built for American communities —promoting fun, health, mobility, and sustainable transportation.

    eBliss Global has received strong support from the State of New York, Empire State Development, and the City of Utica. This collaboration is enabling the creation of more than 25 new jobs (with commitments to at least 40 in related announcements) and the restoration of an iconic former train repair depot. The site is being repurposed into a certified, regulatory-compliant assembly and distribution hub for The Ride Bikes. All of the companies initiatives prioritize supporting the community and local independent bicycle dealers, while delivering the safest, most enjoyable eRides available.

    With this momentum, eBliss Global has attracted global interest and is actively exploring strategic opportunities, including potential public merger discussions with Capstone Companies, Inc. (CAPC) as was recently announced by the company. These and other opportunities like this could accelerate the company’s vision of achieving a “Made in USA” eBike.

    Join the ride to fun, health, mobility, and better transportation!

  • Beyond Work-Life Balance: Italian company Trenton Redefines Parenthood as a Strategic Management Soft Skill

    Beyond Work-Life Balance: Italian company Trenton Redefines Parenthood as a Strategic Management Soft Skill

    Trenton Spa has launched an innovative social laboratory project that treats parenthood not as a personal hurdle, but as a fundamental professional soft skill

    “I believe in the integrity and uniqueness of the person,” explains Giovetti.”
    — Carlotta Giovetti Ceo Trenton Spa

    MODENA, MODENA, ITALY, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Trenton, a leading mechanical engineering company based in the Modena industrial district, is challenging the traditional boundaries between private life and the workplace. The company has launched an innovative social laboratory project that treats parenthood not as a personal hurdle, but as a fundamental professional soft skill.

    At the heart of the initiative is a series of “Educational Video Pills” designed to bridge the gap between family dynamics and corporate excellence. These short modules, curated by a multidisciplinary team including family lawyers, mediators, and midwives, aim to translate the resilience, empathy, and conflict management learned at home into tangible workplace competencies.

    The project was born from a high-level roundtable led by CEO Carlotta Giovetti, who rejects the idea of “compartmentalized” lives.
    “I believe in the integrity and uniqueness of the person,” explains Giovetti. “Reflecting on what the role of a parent brings to the company—and vice versa—is not just a stylistic exercise. It is an organizational necessity for the future of the industrial landscape.”

    The program focuses on how the “hidden” skills of caregivers—such as crisis management, multitasking under pressure, and emotional intelligence—can enrich managerial culture at all levels.
    A key pillar of Trenton’s vision is the active involvement of fathers. The project aims to dismantle the outdated notion that family management is an exclusively female domain.

    As highlighted by Vittoria Pierazzi, a key figure at Trenton, the company looks toward Northern European models where equal involvement in caregiving is the primary tool for breaking the “glass ceiling.” By encouraging co-responsibility, Trenton aims to foster an environment where both men and women can achieve full professional realization.
    The expert panel contributing to the video series includes family lawyer and coach Elena Cuppini and midwife Rosaria Di Puorto. Their combined perspective treats the employee as a “total individual.”

    “An employee who feels understood and valued in their daily life challenges performs better and with less emotional burnout,” notes Di Puorto. According to Cuppini, the strategy is simple: “Building a real team, both in the family and in the company, is the only sustainable strategy for long-term growth.”

    Located in the heart of Italy’s “Motor Valley” (Frassinoro, Modena), Trenton is a mechanical engineering firm specialized in high-precision components. Under the leadership of Carlotta Giovetti, it has become a benchmark for Social Innovation in the manufacturing sector, proving that “human-centric” policies are the key to competitiveness in the 21st-century global market.
