Older cars had integral brakes, meaning that a proportional valve, which is the redundant part of a brake system that prevents total failure of brakes, if a brake line broke you will still have brakes on two wheels, and a master cylinder were all combined in one unit. A nonintegral brake unit typically uses a vacuum booster for power assist. The booster, the master cylinder, hydraulic modulator, and proportional valve are all separate units
It is a mechanical means of holding the vehicle from moving. The parking brake system is separate from the hydraulic service brakes.
Most cars have drum brakes in rear which the parking brake manipulates. Take off both rear wheels and brake drums. You should see a wire system inside that continues out the rear of the brake housing. This is the parking brake wire. Spray it with WD-40 or an equivilant rust penetrating oil. If this does not work, disconnect the wire from the brake mechanism and the brakes should release.
