[ST] thermo-siphon

I've always been under the impression that the coolant does actually
circulate after the engine has been turned off because of the
temperature differential between the coolant in the radiator and the
coolant in the block.

It's called thermo-siphoning. Lots of old cars relied on it, having no 
water pump. UK-built Ford flatheads like the E93A Popular of the forties 
and fifties come to mind.
