If the car hasn't been used for a long period of time calipers usually lock up.Try to remove the calipers and remove the cylinder,to remove the water within the cylinders.It would be best if you could remove the old brake fluid and replace it with new one.it would take time doing this but it's the best solution to your problem.

Which wheels would the wheel cylinders be on if a vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes?

The wheel cylinders will be associated with the rear drum brakes. Drum brakes use a wheel cylinder to activate the brakes - push the shoes out against the drum. Disc brakes use a caliper unit to push a piston out and squish the brake pads against the rotor. The front disc brake pads are pressed against the rotor by pistons inside the calipers to slow the vehicle. Both are hydraulically controlled.

Are there Rotors or drums on back brakes for 1995 Cutlass Supreme?

Depends on if you have 4 wheel disc brakes. If ya do.. its rotors, if not its drums. I would assume, however, since every cutlass I;ve owned has had 4 wheel disc brakes, that yours would too. Look through the holes in your wheels, and see if there's a metal disc or not, or if you want to be sure, see if it looks the same as the front.
