The USAF Thunderbirds predate Gallo Thunderbird by at least a year.
They were founded in 1953, and the law allowing Gallo Thunderbird's
creation wasn't passed until the next year. The wine was certainly out
by 1957. The Ford Thunderbird _might_ predate the wine, since it came
out in 1955. The email client though, no excuse for that one.
But, do any of them, predate the real Thunderbirds, with Lady Penelope?
You mean this series?

Looks like it came out in 1964, so the USAF team, wine, and car did. It's
probable Gallo Thunderbird was fairly unknown in 1960s UK, so they're off
the hook.
