I had an old car that use to do that and it was valve guides. Oil leaks down around the valves and fouls the plugs while it sits overnight, then takes a little while to burn the plugs clean when it gets started. On my V8 it as the rear most plugs that fouled since the engine tilt caused them to be the lowest.

 

The correct fix is to get a head job. On some cars it is possible to replace the valve seals without pulling the head.

 

A short term work around is to try some hotter plugs. A good parts store should be able to help you get the hotter plugs. Also make sure the rest of the ignition is in good shape.
