        consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
        with the consolidated financial statements and notes
        thereto included in the Corporation's annual report to
        shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The

       comprehensive income of $4,402,000 consists of net
       income of $4,656,000 and an other comprehensive loss of
       $254,000, related to a foreign currency translation
       adjustment.  The comprehensive income for the comparable
       period in 1997 of $2,227,000 consists of net income of
       $3,795,000 and other comprehensive losses of $902,000
       for foreign currency translation and $666,000 for a net-
       of-tax unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities.
   
   4.  Basic Earnings Per Share
   
       Basic earnings per 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.  Currently there are no potentially dilutive
       securities; accordingly, basic earnings per share and
       dilutive earnings per share are equivalent.
   
   5.  Recently Issued Accounting Standard
   
       In September 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
       an Enterprise and Related Information".  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.  Generally, financial
       information is required to be reported on the basis that
       it is used internally for evaluating segment performance
       and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.  The
       Corporation must adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 131
       for its consolidated financial statements for the year
       ending December 31, 1998.
   
       The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will not effect 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 Three Month Periods Ended
   March 31, 1998 and 1997                          
   
   
   Operations
   
   Net sales of $48,598,000 for the first quarter of 1998 were
   19.0% higher when compared to 1997 sales of $40,834,000. 
   Excluding the impact of the previous year acquisitions of
   F. R. Gross and Atlantic Grinding and Welding, which were
   not included in the first quarter of 1997, sales increased
   approximately 12.0% compared to the prior year.  Most of
   the Corporation's operations experienced higher shipment
   levels due primarily to improved economic activity in
   domestic markets.  Strong shipments in the first quarter
   and a slowing of forged steel roll orders from customers in
   Asia resulted in a decrease in the order backlog to
   $103,800,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to $115,200,000 at
   December 31, 1997.
   
   The cost of products sold as a percentage of sales was
   67.5% in 1998 and 68.2% in 1997.  
   
   Selling and administrative expenses were $6,807,000 in 1998
   compared to $5,920,000 in 1997.  The increase is
   principally due to the inclusion of the acquired companies
   in 1998.
   
   Depreciation expense increased to $1,919,000 in 1998
   compared to $1,671,000 in 1997 due to a combination of
   higher capital expenditures and the inclusion of the
   acquired businesses.
   
   Due to higher sales, a product mix providing better than
   average profit margins and the contribution from
   acquisitions, income from operations of $7,074,000
   increased by 31% compared to $5,382,000 in 1997.
   
   Other income (expense) in 1997 included gains from the sale
   of investments of $215,000.
   
   As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had net
   income of $4,656,000 in 1998 compared to $3,795,000 in
   1997.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   
   Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in
   1998 and 1997 at $8,895,000 and $7,148,000, respectively. 
   Operating cash flow in 1998 benefitted from a $1,692,000
   increase in income from operations.
   
   Capital expenditures for 1998 totaled $1,957,000 compared
   to $3,728,000 in 1997.  Capital appropriations carried
   forward from March 31, 1998 total $7,200,000 and unexpended
   industrial revenue bond proceeds of $1,940,000 are
   available to fund a portion of this capital spending. 
   Funds generated internally are expected to be sufficient to
   finance the balance of the capital expenditures.
   
   Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1998
   reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.09
   per share compared to $.06 per share in 1997.  Included in
   1997's first quarter dividend is an additional prior year-
   end dividend of $960,000 or $.10 per share.
   
   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 March 31, 1998 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.
   
   Impact of Year 2000
   
   The Corporation and its subsidiaries are taking actions to
   provide that their computer systems are capable of
   processing for the periods the year 2000 and beyond.  The
   year 2000 issue and related costs are not expected to have
   a material impact on the operations of the Corporation.
