a) a license plate frame system fastened to;
b) a swivel attachment rod, the swivel attachment fastened to;
c) an expansion fastener;
d) an end screw attached to the expansion fastener;
e) a first pivot pin in pivotal attachment to swivel clamps and the swivel attachment rod; and
f) a second pivot in securing the swivel clamps to a rotational bushing, with the rotational bushing rotationally attached to a horizontal adjustment bar, the horizontal adjustment bar attached to the license plate frame system.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the expansion fastener further comprises:
a) inside female threads;
b) a plurality of expansion flanges, the expansion flanges comprised of lateral sides; and
c) an outside medial collar recess.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the expansion fastener further comprises:
