Actually, the 1986 Saab 900 parking brake operates the front wheels. I'm sure several of their other models did too. But that's an oddball car!
Most parking brakes operate on the rear wheels, either via the use of a pair of drum brake shoes that clamp against a drum built into the rear rotor, or they use a ratcheting mechanism inside the rear brake calipers to clamp the rear disc. The 300C uses a drum mechanism.
