It seems there’s no relation between Users & Car_Type, you could do:

$this->loadModel('CarType'); // your Model name => CarType
//then
$this->set('users', $this->CarType->find('all'));

To populate it in selectbox, something like this should work:

<select>
<?php foreach($users as $key => $val) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $val['CarType']['id']; ?>">
      <?php echo $val['CarType']['car_type']; ?>
</option>
<?php } ?>
</select>

Hope it helps
