Variously termed "Packard 56", "56 Terminal", also w/ "GM/Chrysler". BTW, Packard refers to an electrical manufacturer not the automobile model. They interchange w/ common 1/4" "spade terminals" in any auto parts store, though most don't have the latches and newer male type have a side latch. Also used in relay bases and home appliances. Gold-plated are best. People constantly argue whether soldering after crimping helps. I do, since at least the soldering provides some corrosion resistance.
Not sure if our vehicles used any of the other Packard connectors (58, 59) but something to keep an eye out for.
AMC (Jeep) used them as well. Some good info and links on these pages.
Near the bottom this page has a bunch of links; Mostly to the repair connector store.

Del City is another on-line source without the minimum quantities that Waytech Wire has.
There does seem to be some difference in materials from different sources. Some have shiny brass, others are steel or tin plated. Unfortunately with mail order its hard to tell what a gray looking terminal is made of.
