Consider this, there was about as much time between the introduction of the Boeing 40 and the Boeing 737 as there has been since the introduction of the 737 and today.
The 737 is still in production. More 737s have been made than any other commercial airliner in history,* other than the DC-3 (and that was due to wartime production).
The 737 has a lengthy book of orders, it continues to evolve, and it may indeed eventually surpass the DC-3 in numbers made.

*Yes, I know there were more An-2s made, but they were not exactly made under a commercial sales regime.
