Abstract
A cord reel holder that mounts to a licensin for a cord reel that houses a cord reel with a fixed length cord and a retractable length cord. The retractable length cord is carried by the cord reel such that a length of the retractable length cord that extends from the housing is adjustable by rotating a reel within the housing. The cord reel holder has a housing with a front wall, a rear wall, and connecting sidewalls that maintain the front wall in a fixed position relative to the rear wall. The cord reel housing defines a receptacle that is sized to receive the cord reel. Each of the front wall and the rear wall has a series of apertures that correspond with mounting apertures for mounting a license plate to a vehicle, and the connecting sidewall has connection points for securing the cord reel within the receptacle.
