For windows, try version 3.0.2 of the car package.

install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/car_3.0-2.zip",
                 lib = .libPaths()[1], repos = NULL, type = "win.binary")
packageVersion("car")

package ‘car’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
> packageVersion("car")
[1] ‘3.0.2’
