I'm looking for mechanism in c# works like that:
Car car1;
Car car2;
Car car = (Car)SomeMechanism.Get("car1");
car1 and car2 are fields
So I want to get some object with reflection, not type :/ How can I do it in c# ?

It's not possible for local variables but If you have a field, you can do
class Foo{
public Car car1;
public Car car2;
}
you can do
object fooInstance = ...;
Car car1 = (Car)fooInstance.GetType().GetField("car1").GetValue(fooInstance);
It looks like you're trying to access local variables by reflection. This is not possible. Local variables are not accessible by reflection.
Am I correct to assume that you have two variables and that you want to get one or the other dynamically? I don't believe you can do this with reflection (at least not easily), but you can do it with functions quite easily.
// Declaration
class SomeMechanism
{
public static T Get<T>(Func<T> getter);
}
// Usage
Car car1;
Car car2;
Car car = SomeMechanism.Get(() => car1);
