You should define get_context_data() method in your class view. Update your code as

from django.shortcuts import render

class CreateCar(CreateView):
    info_sended = False
    template_name = 'create_car.html'
    model = Car
    success_url = 'create_car' #urls name

    def form_valid(self, form):
        self.info_sended = True
        # Instead of return this HttpResponseRedirect, return an 
        #  new rendered page
        super(CreateCar, self).form_valid(form)
        return render(self.request, self.template_name,
                      self.get_context_data(form=form))


    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        ctx = super(CreateCar, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        ctx['info_sended'] = self.info_sended
        return ctx
