This large volume’s (24 x 29 cm, 9.5 x 11.5 in) glossy pages offer a visual history of Crestline Coach Ltd., an ambulance manufacturer in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Written by Crestline co-founder Peter Adsten, the book traces Crestline’s history from Adsten’s early ambulance services work in the 1960s through Crestline’s incorporation in 1975 to its manufacturing of ambulances and other vehicles in the early 2000s. With photos of ambulence interiors and exteriors on most pages, Adsten demonstrates the features and innovations employed by Crestline to meet the evolving requirements for ambulances and their drivers in Canada. With a personable tone, the volume presents Crestline’s story as a combination of automotive modernization, medical advances, and small business growth.
