Believe vapor lock can happen at anytime the temp & conditions are right for the gas to percolate. It happened on a 56 I was riding in while going up a mountain road. Not something I would wish anyone have to duplicate by the way.

The car stopping might have some other causes as well. Coils have been known to open when hot and re-establish when current stops flowing long enough for the windings to cool down--other electrical components also can do the same. Did the car just quit abruptly or sputter a bit like it was running out of gas.
