Code:
sed '
  s/^  *//
  t loop
  :loop
  $b
  N
  s/ *\n *CAR /\
CAR /
  t p
  s/ *\n */ /
  t loop
  :p
  P
  s/.*\n//
  t loop
 ' in_file >out_file

Narrative: Clean leading spaces off the first line, branch to the target to clear the branch flag, create a loop back branch target, exit at EOF printing last line, get a second line into the buffer, if it is a CAR line just clean it up and branch to print first line, remove first line, and loop. If not a CAR line, turn the linefeed and any adjacent spaces into a space and loop. I call this a classic looper in sed, where you merge lines but have to deal with the next group or EOF. Note that a) it assumed the first line is a CAR line, and B) it checks for 'CAR ', not just 'CAR', so as not to be fooled by substrings of other words.
