Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo helps stalled 1969 Corvette in Hamptons

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo was seen helping a motorist in a stalled 1969 yellow Corvette in the Hamptons over the weekend, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The former politician has a history with muscle cars himself, and even reportedly worked as a tow-truck driver while attending law school.

Spies told us that the yellow classic sports car was stopped on Route 114 in East Hampton.

“The car was stalled out on the side of the road, and [Cuomo] jumped it with cables,” one source said. “When the passenger asked who he was, he gave a pseudonym.”

Later in the day Andrew and his brother, Chris Cuomo, were spotted on Chris’ boat in Sag Harbor – ”eating sandwiches and tinkering with the engine,” a source said.

Andrew, 64, reportedly has owned a “deep sky blue” 1975 Corvette, among other classic cars, and gifted Chris a Corvette for his 21st birthday. Their father, the late Gov. Mario Cuomo, told a local Buffalo outlet, “Andrew gave Christopher the Corvette with a note that said, ‘Be good to her, she’s been good to me.’” Andrew reportedly bought that car in 1978.

He is known as a major car nut, and has also restored cars including a 1969 Cougar, a 1973 Camaro and a 1969 Fiat 128, among others.

In 2020, a New York Times report said that Andrew has “a well-documented penchant for aiding motorists in distress: He has pushed cars out of snowdrifts, comforted accident victims and even hooked a stranded vehicle onto a tow cable.” He also reportedly directed state police to help a van that was tipped over on the BQE.

Meanwhile, Chris, 52, once was in a parking lot fender-bender in his own 1969 Pontiac Firebird convertible in Southampton.

The former CNN anchor recently launched a new show on NewsNation, but we reported that Andrew will not be one of his guests – after the brothers were controversially fixtures together on CNN in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After leaving office amidst controversy, Andrew has been reemerging in public, having been seen dining with Mayor Eric Adams and hanging in the Hamptons with Billy Joel, among others.

He resigned last August amid a damning sexual harassment report from the New York Attorney General’s Office, which he denied. An upstate district attorney’s office then dropped any criminal investigation. We reported last summer that Cuomo had been holed up in the Hamptons after leaving the Executive Mansion.
