For the first question, you could do something like

Type t = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
                                .Where(a => a.FullName == "MyFramework")
                                .SelectMany(a => a.GetTypes())
                                .Where(t => t.Name == "Car")
                                .FirstOrDefault();

I am not sure what you mean by the second question.
