Walter P. Chrysler kept his car company headquarters in Michigan. He built the Chrysler Building as a separate venture for his sons.
Between 1929 and 1930, 2,400 men were involved in the construction of the Chrysler Building.
Eagle designer Chesley Bonestell became one of Hollywood's top special effects artists. He created "Xanadu" for the 1941 film Citizen Kane.
The Chrysler Building went into foreclosure in 1975 and was purchased for $35 million. Two decades later, new owners would buy it for more than $220 million.
Narrator: An icon of architectural brilliance, once the world's tallest building, unmistakable on the New York skyline, a tower of lights and stainless steel more than 1,000 feet high. Now: The Chrysler Building, on Modern Marvels
