I had similar issues on my '48. I went through the entire cooling system, but neglected to replace the radiator cap, because I thought it looked okay.

The car would get hotter as I drove it, eventually spewing water out the overflow. Bought a new Stant 10206 cap from NAPA, and all is fine now.

Keep in mind I had the right cap- only mine was worn out. It was evident when I compared it to the new one as the rubber on the bottom was missing! Your situation could be more severe if you have a cap that is too short.
