FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

	PITTSBURGH, PA  April 20, 2005. . . . . Ampco-Pittsburgh
Corporation (NYSE: AP) announced sales for the first quarter
2005 of $58,894,000 and net income of $1,503,000 or $0.15 per
share against sales of $46,787,000 and net income of $1,308,000
or $0.14 per share for the same period of the prior year.
Income from operations approximated $2,272,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 in comparison to $1,622,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004.

	Despite significantly increased sales when compared to the
same quarter in 2004, operating results of the Forged and Cast
Rolls segment improved only modestly due to continuing high raw
material and energy costs.  Advance proceeds of $600,000 were
recorded on account of its business interruption insurance
claim, final settlement of which is expected in the second
quarter.  Sales of the Air and Liquid Processing segment were
level with prior year but resulted in a decline in earnings due
in part to the weak performance of the air handling equipment
operation.

	The outlook for the first half of the year remains weak in
both segments.  However, the Corporation believes that results
of the Forged and Cast Rolls segment should improve as older
fixed-price contracts are completed and better quality orders in
the backlog begin to ship.
