it's not from the 50s. It was built for a RatRodBikes.com build-off in 2008. It's called the Get Lucky. It was entries with ergos like this that prompted the rule that a riding video had to be entered with the final pictures for judging.
Gaskill made great bikes. He's an artist.
Here's another entry for a different build off. It's called Josephine:

Speaking as a sometimes alt bike person, the only pertinent question is: can it be ridden?
There's not really any distance requirement or comfort expectation. If rideable for any distance by anyone in the vicinity, it's rideable art. Otherwise, just art.

That assumes pedaling while steering. Even if you didn't pedal and just coast, so legs not needing to be so forward, it's still so unstable that you wouldn't go far. Wear a helmet and knee/elbow/shoulder pads.
