Well, I'm having problems with my 53, The car since I raised her from the dead has been running after turning it off and recently has been overflowing and getting hot while idoling.
After you shut it off and it cools a bit so you can get the radiator cap off how far down is the water level? Do you top it off and go again with the same result? What happens if you don't add water and heat it up again? does it continue to boil over?
I think it's normal for a car to run hotter when left to idle especially on a hot day.
After I top mine off and drive it and then shut it down on a hot day it always dumps out some water. I don't top it off again. After it dumps the top 1 or 2 inches of water out it stops loosing water. It goes months and months without the need to add water.
