The car should not cool down enough to warrant the use of the choke after initial warm up. Even with freezing temps, a cold air intake and no preheater hose my 12a’s have never done this.
I would look into a carb problem, possibly with the mixture, or a vacuum leak. I cannot imagine a overcooling problem, except maybe a bad thermostat. An opening of the thermostat at less then optimal temp could cause this. I would also do a tune up if that has no been accomplished of late. Cap, rotor, wires, filters, plugs, the works.
Maybe someone else here has run into this problem before?
