Former Governor Andrew Cuomo was seen helping a motorist into a stalled 1969 yellow Corvette in the Hamptons, sources exclusively tell Vidak For Congress.
The former politician has a history of muscle cars of his own and reportedly even worked as a tow truck driver while studying law.
Spies told us the yellow classic sports car had stopped on Route 114 in East Hampton.
“The car was parked on the side of the road and… [Cuomo] jumped it with cables,” a 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’s boat in Sag Harbor – “eating sandwiches and tinkering with the engine,” a source said.
Andrew, 64, has reportedly owned a 1975 Corvette, among other classic cars, and gifted Chris a Corvette for his 21st birthday. Their father, the late Governor Mario Cuomo, told a local Buffalo branch, “Andrew handed 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. .
Known as a great car enthusiast, he has also restored cars, including a 1969 Cougar, a 1973 Camaro, and a 1969 Fiat 128.
In 2020, a New York Times report said Andrew has “a well-documented penchant for helping motorists in distress: He’s pushed cars out of snowdrifts, comforted accident victims, and even hooked a stranded vehicle to a tow rope.” He is also said to have sent state police to assist a van that had overturned on the BQE.
Meanwhile, 52-year-old Chris once fender-bendered in a parking lot 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 won’t be one of his guests — after the brothers were controversially together on CNN in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After leaving office amid controversy, Andrew has reappeared in public, having dinner with Mayor Eric Adams and hanging out in the Hamptons with Billy Joel, among others.
He resigned last August after a scathing sexual harassment report from the New York Attorney General’s office, which he denied. A prosecutor’s office then dropped any criminal investigation. We reported last summer that Cuomo had holed up in the Hamptons after leaving the Executive Mansion.
