391,831 rivets were used to make the Chrysler Building.

Tallest building in the world from 1930 to 1931.

Originally, the building had an observation deck, this deck was closed when the Empire State Building opened and has since been converted into office space.

Chrysler moved out and sold the building in the mid-1950s.

William Van Alen designed a 185ft (56.3m) spire, inspired by a car radiator grill, which was raised to the top in 90 minutes, surpassing 40 Wall Street, and the Eiffel Tower as the tallest structure in the world.

The "Cloud Club" was a private lounge area at the top of the building where people could rest and in the times of prohibition, had a hidden room. On the 2nd floor of the Cloud Club, Chrysler had a private lounge.

The 71st floor observation deck has triangular windows, with the walls having stars and the lights appeared as saturn. It is now leased to tenants.

In 1945 the observation deck was closed, the Cloud Club followed in the 1970's.

When the Chrysler Building was being fixed up, they found that all 3,800 windows were fine. The spire however leaked which was fixed, renovation was finished in 2002.
