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:
