Looks like a Packard 56 terminal. If you do a search for Packard terminals you should find quite a few places that sell them.
 
Maybe I could use a Packard 56 terminal, but would have to pry the tab out to be like the one on the photo. This is a dash/radio connector...looked everywhere but cant identify it properly.
 
Try searching under Molex. The picture you posted does not show it, but I think it is narrow, less than 1/8". This looks like the kind used in plugs on aftermarket stereos? Ask a car stereo place. May be able to buy through DigiKey. However, they have a zillion choices, and I don't have a search term.

Ahh, I see. Was looking at it on my phone and didn't see that it looks more like the connector's for the dash gauges.

I haven't been able to find exactly what that specific terminal is called but did run across this site which looks like it has a wealth of auto conectors:

They have the actual terminal ends with housing for the radio. I know in the past when I needed something like this and I couldn't find just the terminal I would either buy a complete housing end or remove one from a parts car, remove the terminal and it's pigtail from the housing and then solder/splice it into my wiring. Not sure what it is your working on or what your trying to do but maybe that would be an option.

Nice resource! Boy the gyrations I just went through to reuse the OE terminal inside my underhood light connector when the wire broke off flush with the terminal. I finally reattached it and it looks factory but what a PITA. :? A new terminal is the way to fly.
