What is it all about?
The Hell on Wheels Car Show is a community-driven celebration of classic to modern cars and motorcycles, custom rides, local pride, and small-town fun in the Pacific Northwest. What husband and wife of 32 years, Anson and Angela Service started as a passion project and lifelong obsession with cars has grown into an exciting gathering for car and motorcycle lovers, families, and community members who want to enjoy a fun filled day with amazing vehicles, rockin' LIVE music, exciting performances all in a family friendly atmosphere.
This show is built around more than just cars and bikes. It is about our love affair with rides of all kinds and bringing people together to support musicians and actors, local businesses, craftsmanship, and creating an event that is free, fun, and memorable for everyone who attends. The best news is... this year is extra special because we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of our country's independence. Whether you are showing off a classic, a custom build, a hot rod, a daily driver you are proud of, or just coming to enjoy the scene, Hell on Wheels is a place where everyone is welcome.
Our goal from the moment we first thought of the Hell on Wheels car show in 2024 was to create a free to attend car show to revive the tradition in a small town that went back 100 years. We expected a few dozen cars to show up. What we ended up with was a show with such high energy, easy access, low pressure, and full of community spirit that we had to turn cars away after more than 80 showed up. Thousands of people attended to expereince Hell on Wheels. We believe events like this help bring life into small towns, give people a reason to gather, and remind us what can happen when people come together around something they love.
Come for the vehicles. Stay for the shows, create memories, and the small-town experience that makes Hell on Wheels something special.

When everyone was tired of being stuck at home and we invited the town to cruise Commerce like the old days.
People from all walks of life showed up in everything from classic cars to minivans, packing every street leading to Commerce so much that we could only make one pass, and since then it became a monthly first-Friday gathering to bring out your favorite car, meet new people, and celebrate our shared love of cars.
