The smallest version of the Boeing 737 Classic series, 737-500 was built only in a passenger configuration. Production of the 737-500 began in 1990 and ended in 1999, with 389 units built. The -500 was replaced by the Boeing 737-600, which unlike the -500 subsequently experienced disappointing sales.
