15 was John Melberg’s 1966 entrance for the Fisher Body Craftman's Guild. It won 2nd National Sr. Award.

#12 sure looks like a GM concept to me, though I'm not sure whether it is Buick Riviera, Cadillac El Dorado or Olds Toronado....lol  I'm thinking its the Cadillac version, though.....

You're on the right path. The way to score points here is to tell me:

The name of the person who painted, drew or crafted the future vision, or,
The publication name and date in which the future vision was presented, or,
The specific attributes ascribed to the future vision (such as "concept for an atomic-powered pogo stick"), or,
The event or year the future vision either represented or was presented to the public.

10 Future Cruiser
Behold the family cruiser of tomorrow.  You think caravans and minibuses take up a lot of the road?  Be glad you're not stuck behind this vision from Boy's Life circa 1965. 
This behemoth of the highway has everything that the family on holiday could possibly want.  Top speed: 200 MPH, air conditioning, positive road traction, stereo, loads of leg room, and the mileage of a Challenger II tank.
Hence the built-in garage for carrying its own little compact to go fetch a jerry can when the cruiser runs out of petrol.

An interesting blending and enhancement of some of the predictions of the article - nicely done!

#12 sure looks familiar.  I might have even seen it in a traveling exhibit of 60s/70s designs at a local art museum recently.  It sure looks like a mix between a '68 Grand Prix and a '70 Electra 225.  The first name to pop into my mind on that one is Bill Porter, but I have another guy in mind if it's not him.  Unfortunately, considering my luck with the Buick sketch in the black hole, I'm probably not even close!

I feel like I'm going down a path of just naming possible designers like in the Buick puzzle, but is it Wayne Kady for number 12?

Guessing the designer is not the only solution - see the rules at the beginning of this puzzle.

  #12 seems like a GM Design work.  My hunch would be that it is a proposal for the 1970 Buick Wildcat, putting the drawing in the 1966 range or so.

Well, it's not a Buick, but you satisfied criteria #4, as it was indeed from 1966

Otto, it would be a good idea to wait until someone has found it before you write  this caption Charles Stewart Cadillac from 1966 under the picture

Aaron65 correctly identified the year, which got him the (eventual) point. The rest was gravy.

That's interesting.  So many GM styling cues in that thing.  I guess the fender corner markers and fender skirts give it away as a Cadillac.  Must've been an Eldorado sketch for the late '60s, early 70s.

One remains. I'll award two points to the person who cracks it, so long as you do so before Boxing Day. .

I'm going to assume the Boxing Day reference means it's Canadian...I'm going to guess it was shown in MacLean's magazine...

Boxing Day means "December 26" in this case, and nothing more. It was not presented as a clue.

The illustration was not from MacLean's Magazine
