I just went outside and saw a puddle of gasoline under my '62 daily driver 
just behind the front wheel.  It was dribbling out of the drain tube from the 
gas door pocket.  I opened the gas door and removed the gas cap and gasoline ran 
out until it was level with the top of the filler.  I replaced the cap and 
left it a few minutes, then observed that it was still dribbling (less) and 
again removed the cap and had it run out.  What would cause this?  I've never had 
this happen before!

Thanks

Your car is one if the rare versions that has learned how to "make" gas.

Hang on to it.
