Can I use this antique with a car audio amplifier or not

Sure, power is power. I'd worry that mechanically an antique PA woofer wouldn't really handle all that much power before the cone, surround, or spiders fail, and I suspect a woofer like that is designed to function properly in a bass bin/horn or refrigerator sized enclosure so performance, even if it's in perfect condition, would be lackluster if the correct enclosure will not fit in a vehicle.

On the bright side, 2205 recone kits are readily available for 75$ so if it does fail you can at least restore it.
