Continental 737-800 W/ Special C/s?

Yesterday I bought a Skymarks model of a Continental 737-800. It has a large logo in the back 1/2 of the plane that says "Celebrating Our 150th Next Generation 737." According to Continental's fleet plan they already had 153 737NG's(700,800,900) at the end of 2006. Does there 150th have this scheme?...
