Yes and no. The basic 737 design dates to the 1950s. The first ones flew in the 1960s.

The 737 Max is an augmented version of the original.

I think @ams6110 is saying that it may not be fair to identify the 737MAX as a completely new plane, since the 737MAX can be identified as more of an evolution of the 737 rather than a new, from-scratch plane design.

And that is bullshit. As long as you're not just changing the resolution of the seat's screens, it's a completely different model, for all intents and purposes.
