        thereto included in the Corporation's annual report to
        shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The

        debt assumed and retired.  The acquisition was accounted
        for as a purchase transaction.  The excess of the
        purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
        assets acquired (goodwill) amounted to approximately
        $4,500,000.
   
        Effective August 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired
        Atlantic Grinding & Welding Inc. for approximately
        $2,600,000 cash, including debt assumed and retired.  
        This small manufacturer of feed screws, with operations
        in New Hampshire and South Carolina, will expand New
        Castle Industries' market coverage to the plastics
        processing industry. The acquisition was accounted for 
        as a purchase transaction.

        The consolidated financial statements include the
        results of operations of F. R. Gross and Atlantic
        Grinding & Welding from their acquisition date of July 1
        and August 1, 1997, respectively.  The consolidated
        results of operations on a pro forma basis as though
        those businesses  had been acquired as of January 1,
        1996 are as follows (in thousands except for per share
        information):

         The pro forma financial information is not necessarily
         indicative either of results of operations that would
         have occurred had the purchases been made at the
         beginning of the period, or of future results of
         operations of the combined companies.  The 1997 periods
         include gains from investments (see Note 4).
   
         The Assets Purchase Agreements for F. R. Gross and
         Atlantic Grinding & Welding provide for additional
         payments to the former owners contingent on future
         earnings.  Any additional payments made, when the
         contingencies are resolved, will be accounted for as
         goodwill and amortized over the remaining life of the
         original goodwill.

        Inventories, principally valued on the LIFO method, are

          classified as available for sale, the Corporation
          recognized pre-tax gains of $3,489,228 and $2,552,653 
          during the nine and three month periods ended September
          30, 1997, respectively.
   
   5.     Net Income Per Common Share

          Net income per common share is computed on the basis of
          the weighted number of shares of Ampco-Pittsburgh
          Corporation's common stock outstanding, which has
          remained unchanged at 9,577,621 shares for the periods
          presented.
   
   6.     Recently Issued Accounting Standards
   
          In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
          Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share".  SFAS
          No. 128 establishes new standards for computing and
          presenting earnings per share and is effective for the
          year ending December 31, 1997.  The adoption of SFAS No.
          128 is not expected to have an effect on the
          Corporation's calculation of earnings per share as there
          are currently no potential additional shares of common
          stock issuable.
   
          In September 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,
          "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS No. 131,
          "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
          Information".  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
          reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
          components.  The Corporation is required to adopt the
          provisions of SFAS No. 130 beginning with its
          consolidated financial statements for the three months
          ending March 31, 1998.  SFAS No. 131 requires certain
          disclosures about segment information in interim and
          annual financial statements and related information
          about products and services, geographic areas and major
          customers.  The Corporation must adopt the provisions of
          SFAS No. 131 for its consolidated financial statements
          for the year ending December 31, 1998.
   
          The adoptions of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 are not
          expected to have a material effect on the measurement of
          the Corporation's financial position, results of
          operations or cash flows; the Corporation is reviewing
          possible changes in disclosures that may be necessary.

                           AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   
   
   
   Operations for the Nine and Three Month Periods Ended
   September 30, 1997 and 1996                          
   
   Net sales for the nine and three month periods of 1997 were
   $125,554,000 and $41,628,000 compared to $120,363,000 and
   $38,497,000 for the same periods of the prior year. 
   Excluding the additional sales from the acquisitions of 
   F. R. Gross and Atlantic Grinding & Welding during the
   third quarter of 1997, overall sales increased by 2% and 1%
   for the first nine months and third quarter of 1997,
   respectively, compared to the prior year.  While several of
   the Corporation's operations experienced higher shipment
   levels due to continued growth in export business and
   improved economic activity, other operations experienced
   modest declines in sales.  The order backlog stood at
   $118,200,000 at September 30, 1997 compared to $114,100,000
   at December 31, 1996.  The increase in the backlog is due
   primarily to the businesses acquired in 1997.
   
   The cost of products sold relationships for the nine and
   three months ended September 30, 1997 were 68.8% and 69.3%,
   respectively.  This compares with the prior comparable
   periods at 71.0% and 71.5%, respectively.  A more
   profitable sales mix together with increased margins
   resulted in improved ratios of cost of products sold to
   sales in 1997.
   
   Selling and administrative expenses in 1997 increased by
   $446,000 for the year-to-date period and $684,000 for the
   third quarter, both compared to the prior year, principally
   due to the impact of the businesses acquired during the
   third quarter 1997.  The relationships of selling and
   administrative expenses to net sales for the nine and three
   months ended September 30, 1997 were 14.5% and 15.2%,
   respectively.  This compares with the prior comparable
   periods, both at 14.7%.
   
   Depreciation expense of $5,033,000 and $1,697,000 for the
   nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 increased
   approximately 7% and 9%, respectively, compared to the
   prior year due principally to an increase in capital
   expenditures.

   <PAGE>
   
   Income from operations increased 28% for the nine month
   period and 26% for the three month period, both ended
   September 30, 1997 compared to the corresponding 1996
   periods.  These increases are principally a result of
   improved margins, a more profitable sales mix and slightly
   higher volumes.
   
   Gains of $3,489,000 and $2,553,000 were recognized in the
   nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1997,
   respectively, from the sale of investments.
   
   The Corporation had net income for the nine and three
   months ended September 30, 1997 of $12,677,000 and
   $4,550,000, respectively.  This compares with net income
   for the prior year comparable periods of $7,928,000 and
   $2,369,000, respectively.
   
   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   
   Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in
   1997 and 1996 at $14,007,000 and $12,422,000, respectively. 
   Operating cash flow in 1997 benefitted from a $3,468,000
   increase in income from operations.
   
   Capital expenditures for 1997 totaled $12,258,000 compared
   to $6,264,000 in 1996.  The Corporation anticipates capital
   expenditures for 1997 to approximate $16,000,000 with the
   major expenditure being for plant and equipment at Union
   Electric Steel's plants to be completed by the end of the
   year.  Unexpended industrial revenue bond proceeds of
   $9,767,000 were available to fund a portion of this capital
   program and $7,245,000 of these proceeds were drawn down
   during the first nine months of 1997.  Funds generated
   internally are expected to be sufficient to finance the
   balance of the capital expenditures.
   
   The net cash outflow from investing activities in 1997
   includes $11,967,000 for the purchases of F. R. Gross and
   Atlantic Grinding & Welding during the third quarter.  The
   Corporation disposed of all of its stock and other
   investment interests, including its stock holdings in
   Northwestern Steel and Wire Company, receiving proceeds of
   $4,907,000 in 1997.  
   
   Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1997
   reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.06
   per share compared to $.025 per share in 1996, and an
   additional prior year-end dividend of $960,000 in 1997 or
   $.10 per share, as compared to $.05 per share paid in 1996.
   
   
                               - 10 -
                                   
   
   <PAGE>
   
   The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a
   revolving credit agreement in excess of the cash needs of
   its businesses.  The total available at September 30, 1997
   was $14,500,000.
   
   With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has
   been named a potentially responsible party at certain third
   party sites. The Corporation has accrued its share of the
   estimated cost of remedial actions it would likely be
   required to contribute.  While it is not possible to
   quantify with certainty the potential cost of actions
   regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
   remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of
   management, compliance with the present environmental
   protection laws and the potential liability for all
   environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse
   effect on the financial condition, results of operations or
   liquidity of the Corporation.
   
   The nature and scope of the Corporation's business brings
   it into regular contact with a variety of persons,
   businesses and government agencies in the ordinary course
   of business.  Consequently, the Corporation and its
   subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal
   actions.  The Corporation does not anticipate that its
   financial condition, results of operations or liquidity
   will be materially affected by the costs of known, pending
   or threatened litigation.
