Possible to use an older template version with version 1.5.1?

Hello, is it possible to use an older template (i.e. version 1.3.7) and have it compatible with version 1.5.1? I just subscribed to bluehost, which installed zencart version 1.5.1, however, I would like to take advantage of another template that better fits the design I'm looking for.

If it is possible, can you tell me how to?

Thanks

If you post a link to the template download those in the know will be able to assess. Having said that, why would you want to use an old template when there are some brilliant modern ones available? Just asking what makes the one you like so special.

Wow, thanks for getting back so quickly. I feel the color schemes of the "free yellow" or "flower" templates under http://www.zencartwebtemplates.com/blog/free-zen-cart-templates/best-free-zen-cart-templates-2012/ really give a good feel related to the products I want to sell, but have not found a free or inexpensive 1.5.1 version with a similar attractive design, hence the question if I could use an older template compatible with 1.5.1.

Ok but have you looked here?
http://(sorry, site offline)/index.php
Personally I am drawn to the work of Picaflor Azul, they do some great ones, freebies too.
To match the styles you have linked would be very simple CSS editing for the colours. Is it the header logo/sunflower that seals the deal? Again all aesthetics can be added with a bit of easy editing.
Have a look at the link I've posted and let me know your first impressions.
