Looks like the clips are broken. if you pull the ring there should be tabs on the under side that allow it to attach to the column. BTW welcome to the forum!!

That sounds about right. I am not as familiar with the 65 Galaxie as I am with other cars and can not say for certain with out looking at the horn ring. Can you pull the ring and snap a picture of the under side??

Alice,
Don't know if you found the part yet, AutoKrafters has two horn ring retainers for 65 500. The part numbers are 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 HORN RING RETAINER W/ ALTERNATORPart#: D1TZ-13A809B and 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 HORN RING PLASTIC RETAINER PLATE Part#: C5AZ-13A809A. If you have a 65 parts manual you can look up the second part # a see if it's a match. The D1 part appears to be metal and states with altenator. The second is a plastic one. Hope this helps.
