Triangle-shaped windows in its crown are lined with lights, creating a beautiful effect come nighttime. The structure pays homage to its namesake with giant eagles (replicas of ones added to Chrysler automobiles in the 1920s) in lieu of traditional gargoyles and a brickwork relief sculpture of racing cars, complete with chrome hubcaps.
