Well, yes and no.  The only Arrow range saloons sold in the USA were
Sunbeams rather than  Hillmans. They didn't look far for the model name -
the Sunbeam Arrow! They are quite rare here. Any other models would be a
private import - for instance, there was an early 70's Humber Sceptre (sold
recently on Ebay) that was residing in California. Don't know it's
whereabouts now, though.

Rootes abandoned the Hillman name entirely in the mid 1960's in the US, so
all the "officially" imported Imps and Minxes after that are badged Sunbeam
here. Even my Commer Highwayman was badged as a Sunbeam Funwagon, using a
Stiletto bonnet badge on it's nose.
