The Allen was an American automobile built in Fostoria, Ohio between 1913 and 1921. The company used 3.1 liter four-cylinder side-valve Sommers engines, and acquired said company in 1915. The 1920 the Allen 43 was made, featuring bevel-sided touring coachwork and a high-shouldered radiator. Ultimately, sales of this vehicle were not enough to avert the company's bankruptcy, which followed in 1921. Willys acquired what little was left.{{Cite book |last=Wise |first=David Burgress |author-link=David Burgess-Wise |title=The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Automobiles |publisher=Chartwell Books |year=2000 |isbn=0-7858-1106-0}}{{page needed|date=February 2024}} In total, 20,000 vehicles were sold.{{cn|date=February 2024}}
