Help with font

Have this one that I need help with. First thought was Optima, but it's not that. As you can see, it's not an outline font originally; that was done as an effect.

It appears to be ITC Mixage Bold or Black that has been inlined and squeezed. Here's an unslanted, inverted and filled reworking of it.

Arial Sucks.
How about Poppl Laudatio? It's old typeface from Berthold that was bundled in with early versions of Adobe Illustrator. It's similar to Optima, but actually looks more like the OP's sample image.

Not really. The reworked image I uploaded was made from the vehicle picture from the OP. Below is Poppl Laudatio where you will be able to see differences in all the terminals, a lack of a slope on the legs of the "M", a weighted stroke on the "S" ... all substantially different from OP's sample.
