So figure 2 1/2 segments equals 500 feet, which makes for easy math---- one segment is 200 feet.
NOW, there are three full segments above the 500 foot mark, plus a crown which is a segment and change in height.. put it all together and I'm seeing a tower that easily hits 1300 feet!

It's definitely well above 1,000 ft. I'm thinking that the Chrysler graphic is either a reference to roof height, or a comparison of designs.
