What became of the Osama Bin Imperial photo? Is that
someplace on the site?
Not sure! That photo was added to the site by someone other than me
(Leslie, maybe?), and was later taken out by someone other than me. But
I suppose it ought to go somewhere in the "Oddities" section of the
site, eh?
Here's the original black and white newspaper photo, showing the family
posing with a '67 Imperial during a trip to Sweden in 1971. Osama is
second from the right:

Somewhere along the line, somebody seems to have "colorized" the photo,
and that's the version that has been more commonly seen floating around
the Internet. For some reason, that person apparently decided that the
Imperial should be pink! You can see that version here, along with lots
of discussion:
