Sounds like a classic case of blocked radiator - either internally or externally (eg insects). Here in Australia during a hot summer, I had this problem on an old Ford and had to slow down on the highways.
If an external problem hose out the insects. If the external side is OK then its an internal problem which given the fact the coolant was so mucky would be very liklely. If its a copper radiator and in good condition then it can be disassembled and 'rodded out'. Otherwise replace. In my experience adding a rad flush compound at this stage is a waste of time.
