Image: F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Motor Magazine Summer 1920

Description: F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Sayre pictured on a road-trip in Motor magazine. In July 1920—immediately after marrying—Scott and Zelda decided to drive his 1918 Marmon automobile on a 1,200 mile road-trip southward to visit the Sayre family in Montgomery, Alabama. The trip was a disaster with numerous automotive mishaps. In 1922, Scott wrote a humorous narrative about their misadventures entitled "The Cruise of the Rolling Junk." Two years later, the story was serialized and published in three-parts by Motor magazine from February-April 1924. As the copyright for all photos in magazine articles published prior to 1926 has expired, this photo is verifiably in the public domain.

For further verification of the photo's 1924 publication: See page 73 of The Romantic Egotists on Google Books which shows the 1924 magazine article with this photo as its centerpiece.
