Gerald Murphy and his wife, Sara, dressed as dandy vehicles and photographed by Man Ray at the Comte Étienne de Beaumont Automotive Ball in 1924.
An additional detail about the Murphys: they were distressed to serve as the aesthetic (or, lifestyle perhaps) models for Nick and Nicole Diver in Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night. (The Divers’ damned-ness, however, belongs solely to the Fitzgeralds.)
