Just catching up on some older threads while I was away from the CABE for a while. I own one of these Zephyrs and have been able to find extremely little info on them.
It is a really attractive design which is why I decided to keep the one I have. It was repainted at some point (as usual
) so mine's undergoing restoration right now.
The only historical reference I find to it is in the 1937 Montgomery Wards catalog...

It is a pretty unique design. I believe these are products of American National. I know they made the similarly designed Skippy, of which one is on ebay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280965409831?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Interesting.... I saw that one on the bay but made no correlation. I am familiar with a relative of my trike, there is a photo on the CABE here somewhere, it's got a very similar twin bar loop design, but the loops are MUCH larger, extending all the way down to the hub dropouts.

I think you might be referring to the rear steering Rocket tricycle. Here's a photo of one in this thread: http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?8977-1935-Elgin-Racer-Tricycle-restored
Still trying to figure out who made the Rocket. I did find a similar designed bicycle made by the Alexander Specialties Co., but no solid evidence to positively link the two as being from the same mfr.
