Mark Allen, Champion of Wacky Easter Jeep Safari Designs, Is Retiring
Mark Allen has had a big role to play in that as the company’s Vice President of Design. Known for his efforts to modernize the brand and his eye-catching concept builds, he’s now heading into retirement.
Allen rose through the ranks at Jeep, he quickly became a part of the Underground, a team charged with designing and building one-off concept vehicles. One of his earlier projects was the 2004 Jeep KJ “Liberator” concept built for SEMA. Allen would later take the vehicle to the Easter Jeep Safari, marking the brand’s first official appearance there.
