Jeff Allen is a third generation car enthusiast, raised amidst an auto shop and later spending years in the corporate world, managing franchised dealerships for prominent brands such as Ford and Toyota. After realizing that once you reach the top, the only direction to go is to own it yourself, the vision for Flat 12 Gallery was born.
However, Jeff Allen's story goes beyond just his entrepreneurial ventures. Few people are aware that he is a Champion Air Guitarist, a licensed SCCA Race Car Driver, a Cross Country Rally Driver who won Rookie of the Year in 2014 on The Bullrun, and a Comedian with a background in acting, having appeared in Football Commercials, Horror Films, and guest roles on shows such as Cinemania.
As the host of the top 5 iTunes Automotive and Rock-n-Roll Podcast Skidmarks Show, Jeff Allen also hosted CNBC's reality television show, The Car Chasers, for three seasons and 40 episodes. He is no stranger to transforming a car's life around. While filming The Car Chasers, he discovered and rebuilt some of the most recognizable classic cars from Tim Allen's Collection, as well as Hollywood cars from films such as "2Fast 2Furious".
Jeff Allen can be found making celebrity appearances and participating in automotive events across the United States, including SCCA racing, the SEMA Show, Collector Car Auctions, Ferrari meets, and cross-country road rallies. His home base is in Dallas, Texas, where Flat 12 Gallery is located.
Flat 12 Gallery is a boutique-style Automobile Dealership and Garage that specializes in finding unique and one-of-a-kind vehicles, offering them for sale to the public. From the "Miami Vice" Daytona to "Fast and Furious" vehicles, race heritage Gassers, and low-production Super Cars, Flat 12 Gallery has graced the pages of numerous Automotive Magazines, including Motortrend, Vehicle MD, Muscle Car Review, and Vette Magazine, as a market expert, "how-to" build expert, and car collector.
Flat 12 Gallery has been the setting for three seasons of the CNBC television show "The Car Chasers" (internationally broadcast on the History and Discovery Channel as "Automanicaos" and "Texas Garage"). The gallery specializes in a wide range of vehicles, from Ferrari's to Hot Rods to full restoration cars, including a bare metal "Naked" 1957 Chevrolet and a 1969 Big Block Corvette L88-inspired race car.
